New research from Google and quantum startup Oratomic shows AI-assisted algorithmic advances that could let quantum computers break internet encryption sooner than expected. Google demonstrated a 20× reduction in resources needed to crack ECDSA-256; Oratomic showed neutral-atom architectures could break RSA-2048 with as few as 10,000 qubits.
Key Points
20× resource reduction to crack ECDSA-256
RSA-2048 potentially breakable with 10,000 reconfigurable qubits
Cloudflare accelerated post-quantum deadline to 2029
Why It Matters
Post-quantum migration just shifted from a 2030s project to a near-term boardroom issue — every enterprise relying on current crypto needs a plan.
