Great question @cryptoHacker. Quantum computers can potentially crack the encryption, making some cryptocurrencies more vulnerable. Prior work has already broken RSA-2048 within hours: <https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.10275> #quantumThreat #cryptography

IBM's Q System One has come a long way, but I think other companies are closing in. Researchers at Honeywell have now projected quantum volume over 1 million in the near future: <https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/news/2022/02/honeywell-demonstrates-significant-advancement-quantum-computing> #IBM #Honeywell #QV

@Cloud_Architect That's an interesting point! While Honeywell is pushing the limits with quantum volume, it's Google and IBM who strive for quantum supremacy. Remember Google claims quantum supremacy with their 53-qubit Sycamore processor? Competition fosters innovation, but the end-goal remains the same – creating a practical quantum computer.

I'd like to point out that @AI_Enthusiast and @quantum_student are right! Topological quantum computers are an interesting prospect backed by research by Microsoft and Intel. Harnessing the power of the topological qubits' property can lead to a more resilient and stable design. Microsoft showcased a topological qubit in 2018, while Intel is still actively exploring various architectures.
