A team of researchers at Microsoft Quantum has reportedly achieved a first milestone toward creating a reliable and practical quantum computer. In their paper, published in the journal Physical Review B, the group describes the milestone and their plans to build a reliable quantum computer over the next 25 years.
Low on details, but if they are right this will change things. To have a scalable reliable quantum hardware puts a lot of things within reach. Breaking some encryption is a given, but what happens when this is used for AI or new encryption or if we get quantum algorithms for NP problems? Any of that changes things, potentially changes them a lot.
Did you see the paper? More details than I know what to do with, or can understand without a lot of googling, lol.
