Re: I may be wrong

If there has been a quantum computing breakthrough and the people in the giant dough-nut are using it to routinely break encryption, then we are not going to know about it for at least 30 years, if ever.

The old urban myths about oil companies buying and scrapping any alternative energy inventions that threaten demand for fuel, applies for real to any research into Quantum or other advanced method that can be used against encryption. It simply will remain a secret.
