Is this for the three reasons you emphasize?
We've got breakthroughs and algorithms.
some fault detection, I think you called this, which allows us to scale logical qubits, which I think that is the main thing that must be scaled in order to break ECDSA and then also all of the billions in VC and funding that is poured into it.
So governments are getting involved in this, it sounds like.
So we're not actually sure all the work that's going on behind the scenes even.
We're aware of the commercially viable work at this point.
So on the logical qubit piece, you said we have like one logical qubit right now.
There's physical qubits and logical qubits.
And the thing to scale is logical qubits in order to break ECDSA.
How many logical qubits do we actually need to break these algorithms?
Because that's a metric that I'm looking at.
But is that even the right number to look at?
If we're at one, I've heard people talk about, well, you need 1,000 or maybe 1,500, something like this.
Is this a number we should be paying attention to?
And what do you think about this?
And what are the scalars for each of those?
