China's Quantum Computer: Is Your Data Still Secure? 🔐

Researchers at Shangai University recently made headlines for purportedly breaking the RSA encryption algorithms used in banking, military, and cryptocurrency applications. However, popular YouTuber Mental Outlaw says the recent breakthrough in China lacks the power to impact current encryption standards due to severe computation and physical limitations. According to the research paper, the quantum computer used in the experiment factorized the integer 2,269,753. Mental Outlaw noted that this surpassed records set by other quantum computers but failed to surpass the record set by classical computers.
