IQM Quantum Computers and Fraunhofer FOKUS have reached a significant milestone with the Qrisp 0.8 framework, successfully compiling Shor's algorithm for 2048-bit keys, a scale relevant to cryptographic applications. This achievement marks the first time a full gate-level compilation of Shor's algorithm has been accomplished at this scale. Previous estimates for breaking RSA-2048 relied on theoretical models or extrapolation, but Qrisp 0.8 provides a concrete, gate-by-gate implementation1. The update to the Eclipse Qrisp framework demonstrates significant progress in quantum computing capabilities, particularly in relation to cryptographic key sizes. This development has significant implications for the security of cryptographic systems, as it brings quantum computing one step closer to potentially breaking certain types of encryption. So what this means for practitioners is that they must reevaluate their cryptographic protocols and consider the potential risks associated with quantum computing advancements.
