@dangoodin What's currently the largest number that has actually been factored using a quantum algorithm? So far I know only of absolutely trivial examples. I'm way out of my depth with what Google has produced there but I'd be skeptical of estimates about 2048 bit numbers when not even an 8 bit number has been shown to be feasible.

@menos @dangoodin Is this perhaps Google trying to get ahead of the next hype cycle, given the (hopefully) impending AI collapse?
