RSA-2048 Within Reach of 1730 Qubits. Or is it?
The paper’s main claim is striking: by using approximate residue arithmetic and other optimizations, one can factor an RSA-2048 number with around 1730 logical qubits – dramatically down from the ~4000–6000 logical qubits required by earlier methods. (See one of…
