Development
Shor's algorithm is shown viable at ten thousand qubits
Claim
Preskill and collaborators showed Shor's algorithm can run at cryptographically relevant scales with as few as 10,000 reconfigurable atomic qubits, putting an expiration date on current encryption.
Reported metric: 10,000 qubits
Reporting date: (not necessarily the event date)
