Haseeb and Andrew Côté cite Google Research showing a roughly 20x improvement in Shor’s algorithm efficiency, accelerating timelines for breaking ECDSA and pushing urgency for a post-quantum transition by 2029.
Google Research demonstrates a ~20x more efficient implementation of Shor's algorithm that could break ECDSA keys within minutes with ~500K physical qubits.
We are no longer looking at mid 2030s,
Google published a paper showing it can be done with 500,000 qubits in 20 minutes.
Race is on.
