I don't know of anyone working in the space that takes that demonstration seriously, but I didn't go digging much; let me know if you find someone. For a lot of cryptography engineers, the mention of "D-Wave" is enough to shut down the inquiry.

That was my assumption as well for years, but when RSA starts to fall it raises more than 1 question.

We will be wrapping RSA 2048bit in Kyber in the next few weeks, because planning for the worst and hoping for the best is good policy. =3

I'm referring to the specific D-Wave China RSA demonstration you're talking about, which I've been reading cryptographers dunking on.

Cards on the table, my position on quantum cryptanalysis remains: "Rodents of unusual size? I don't think they exist." It's a very big deal because it's a full employment program for people working on novel asymmetric schemes.
