    I spent a few minutes looking for the research paper, no luck. But it doesn’t sound like something to worry about for now. D-wave isn’t a general purpose quantum computer anyway. You can’t run anything like Grover search on it.

    Like others, I was not able to access the original article. However, I think I have found some other article of this author. I am not a quantum computing expert, thus, I did not understand much of the article. Maybe other can comment of these works:

    Here’s a more informative article with a link to the paper, which is in a Chinese journal. The link doesn’t open for me rn but it’s a start.

    I love how it did not at all explain what they broke. It mentioned “rectangle”? Whats that? How does it have any relation to AES? Because AES is NOT vulnerable to quantum computing. Did they get the key by knowing the ciphertext and the original data?
