Excerpt:
To crack a 2,048-bit RSA key, such as the ones that today's standards
require, a quantum computer will need at least a register of 2,048
entangled qubits. That's far from what's available today. And it
seems very unlikely that the current rate of progress in creating
more entanglement will make it possible in the next several years.

Because of this, estimates that we have just a few years until
today's encryption will be vulnerable to attacks by quantum computers
seem premature. The level of precision with which researchers can
precisely control quantum states is impressive, but it still doesn't
seem to be enough to let them build a quantum computer big enough to
crack today's encryption. Lots of basic research is still needed to
get to that point.
