Re: Researcher Claims to Crack RSA-2048 With Quantum Computer
Wait wait wait. I'm just reading this in a bit more depth.
Because the formatting is messed up I originally read that as 101000, but it's actually 101000.
There is not enough computing power in the entire world to even store a number with 101000 digits, let alone even think about beginning to attempt to factorize it. In fact, much like Graham's number, even if every digit of such a number was stored in a single Planck volume, the entire universe would be too small to represent such a number. But this man has factorized such a number on a mobile phone? Lol.

We factored numbers with more than 101000 decimal digits, and the capital cost was less than $1,000.
