A first successful factorization of RSA-2048 integer by D-Wave quantum computer
SMRTR summary
Researchers successfully factored RSA-2048 integers using a D-Wave quantum annealer, transforming the problem into a combinatorial optimization task. This marks the first factorization of RSA-2048 using D-Wave, surpassing previous records. The experiment demonstrates quantum annealing's potential for cryptographic attacks, though it focused on a specific class of integers.
