Comment on Why Haven’t Quantum Computers Factored 21 Yet?

The linked paper, “Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog” is also a great breakdown of how much the quantum factoring is more of a parlor trick and not practical for factoring RSA Keys, mainly since the prime factors are only a few bits off of each other and from the square root of the number being factored.
We hypothesise that the production of fully entangled sheep is easy, given how hard it can be to disentangle their coats in the first place. The logistics of assembling the tens of thousands of sheep necessary to factorise RSA-2048 numbers is left as an open problem
Omg, I simply cannot! Thanks for brightening my day with this paper XD
Seriously recommend this. I saw it a while back and found it highly informative

a well trained dog outperforms current quantum-made calculations 👍🥳
