On reducing the cost of breaking RSA-2048 to 100,000 physical qubits
So, a group based in Sydney, Australia has put out a preprint with a new estimate of the resource requirements for Shor’s algorithm, claiming that if you use LDPC codes rather than the surface code, you should be able to break RSA-2048 with fewer than 100,000 physical qubits, which is an order-of-magnitude improvement over the previous estimate by friend-of-the-blog Craig Gidney. I’ve now gotten sufficiently many inquiries about it that it’s passed the threshold of blog-necessity.
A few quick remarks, and then we can discuss more in the comments section:
Yes, this is serious work. The claim seems entirely...“My Optimistic Vision for 2050”
The following are prepared remarks that I delivered by Zoom to a student group at my old stomping-grounds of MIT, and which I thought might interest others (even though much of it will be familiar to Shtetl-Optimized regulars). The students asked me to share my “optimistic vision” for the year 2050, so I did my best to oblige. A freewheeling discussion then followed, as a different freewheeling discussion can now follow in the comments section.
I was asked to share my optimistic vision for the future. The trouble is, optimistic visions for the future are not really my shtick!
It’s...

Nate Soares visiting UT Austin tomorrow!
This is just a quick announcement that I’ll be hosting Nate Soares—who coauthored the self-explanatorily titled If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies with Eliezer Yudkowsky—tomorrow (Tuesday) at 5PM at UT Austin, for a brief talk followed by what I’m sure will be an extremely lively Q&A about his book. Anyone in the Austin area is welcome to join us.
