"Experts Play Down Significance of Chinese Quantum 'Hack'"

Security experts urge caution regarding Chinese researchers' recently reported work in cracking military-grade encryption using quantum computing technology. In a study titled "Quantum Annealing Public Key Cryptographic Attack Algorithm Based on D-Wave Advantage," Shanghai University researchers claimed to have used a D-Wave Advantage quantum computer to target Substitution-Permutation Network (SPN) algorithms that are foundational to Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) cryptography. AES-256 is a nearly impenetrable symmetric encryption method used by banks, governments, and the military. This article continues to discuss why security experts are downplaying the significance of this supposed breakthrough.
