Filippo is spot on. The question we should be asking now is: "What does Google know that the rest of us don't?"

@dangoodin that their massive investments in quantum need justification to not piss off shareholders? that they need to be seen to follow NIST guidance to maintain upheaved government contracts?
I'm honestly still unconvinced on the PQ timeline being realistic. by all means, future proof designs and roll out plenty early, but repeatedly predicting (incorrectly) that a practical break of real-world classical cryptosystems is urgently around the corner just leads to distrust and fatigue.

@dangoodin I don't disagree that we must speed up the PQC process, and 2029 seems like a reachable target since the tech is ready now. But what does Google know that we don't? Unlike NSA in the 90s, this is a company that does the best to milk every bit of PR they can out of their R&D results, in particular in Quantum Computing. And the state of the art in QC against cryptography looks a bit sad, like they can factorize large numbers if most of their bits are predefined. They may be making gradual progress over these, but I don't believe they did a breakthrough, or else they'd be claiming everywhere that their quantum computer is finally useful.
