Скачать или смотреть Evaluating the Practical Capabilities of Contemporary Quantum Processors in Breaking AES Encryption

As quantum computing advances, assessing the potential of current architectures to threaten AES encryption is essential. This study evaluates leading quantum processors, IBM, Google, Zuchongzhi 2, Microsoft, Rigetti, IonQ, and Honeywell, focusing on quantum gate complexity, qubit coherence time, and scalability trade-offs. It demonstrates how these systems, when scaled to thousands of qubits with error correction, could compromise AES security. The findings offer clearer insight into the timeline of quantum threats, aiding in strategic planning for mitigation and PQC migration. Enhancing AES robustness through longer key sizes and hybrid models is also explored to strengthen cryptographic readiness.
