Alice & Bob Reports Lower Quantum Resource Estimates for Breaking RSA-2048
<p>BOSTON, Oct. 29, 2026 — Alice & Bob has announced that it has set a record low for the total quantum resources (qubits multiplied by runtime) required to run Shor’s algorithm on today’s encryption. Its cat-qubit architecture needs 40 times fewer physical qubits than Google Quantum AI’s Craig Gidney 2025 estimate to break RSA-2048 (arxiv). […]</p>
