That's the thing to underline is this is an algorithm improvement that reduces the amount of hardware required to go attack these systems.
And so it is still an engineering problem.
Actually, I was wanting to ask this question of how big of an engineering problem is it?
Is this something like fusion, which that's an engineering problem, but we have no idea how to solve fusion.
It's always like 15 years away or whatever.
Yeah.
We do have some qubits.
We do.
We have 50 logical qubits right now.
And the question is, can we scale that up?
And it's not like fusion, which is just like, oh, there's a lot more research to do.
This is purely an engineering problem.
Now, can we resolve the engineering problem?
I don't know.
But it seems more like AI scaling.
which is you just throw more hardware at it.
You just scale it up than it does fusion.
It's almost like an analog is in the 1960s.
Transistors worked.
They were discovered.
