Uh, this is still a little far off, don't you think?  The announcement
on /. three weeks ago that someone had finally built a quantum
computer capable of evaluating three (was it three?  Was it four?)
bits made big waves, until it was realized that upscaling this is
still at least a decade away.

On the other hand, quantum key generation is here now, works really
well (oh MAN is that clever!), and can generate infinite length truly
random keys.  The problem is that going the other way is much much
much much more complicated, and overcoming quantum-generated keys is
going to require another branch of math.  I still can't believe how
clever the key generation hardware is:  One laser, one mirror, two
detectors.  That is SO COOL!
