Much has been made of Schor's algorithm and the inevitable defeat of RSA using quantum computers. But a new research paper suggests a quantum computer may be applied to the problem in a fundamentally different way, hastening RSA's demise beyond even our current expected timelines. In this episode we discuss this new research, reactions to it, and its potential implications.
