    What do you think they have? Alien computers? Not even super-computers make a dent in decryption.

        But this is not like the past. Quantum computers is not an step in evolution, it is a jump, as if from no computers to computers. Of course it’s possible, but there is no basis or indication for it and so no reason to assume it. Why believe the less likely thing instead of the more likely?

            Which one? A super computer? Its just faster than a conventional computer by a factor that doesn’t matter. A quantum computer? The public field would be way closer to that if “the government” had one that would be useful.

              Obviously you are not aware a Quantum does not operate like a conventional computer. That’s fine. No reason to go further.

                Oh, but I am. That’s why I said what I said. Even if they have one, it will be severely lacking; indicated by where public research is at.

                  You can’t even concede that Quantum computing is not convententual computing, why would your idea of research be valid?
