Quantum Annealing Breakthrough in China Signals Impending Threat to RSA Encryption
Introduction A major milestone in quantum computing has emerged from China. On June 24, 2025, Earth.com reported that researchers at Shanghai University, led by Wang Chao, used a D‑Wave Advantage quantum annealer to factor a 22-bit RSA key—marking the most advanced quantum factorization in this domain to date . While this result does not immediately … Read more
