IBM researchers announced they have overcome one of the
biggest technical barriers in functional quantum computing
and plan to launch a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum
machine by 2029. The development could mark a turning point
in the race to build computers far more powerful than
anything available today.
The breakthrough centers on a new way to fix the errors
that plague quantum systems. Unlike classical computers,
which use bits that flip between 0 and 1, quantum computers
rely on qubits. These qubits can hold more complex information,
but are highly unstable and prone to frequent errors. As
more qubits are added, those errors increase and make
calculations unreliable.
IBM says its new method dramatically reduces these issues.
The technique utilizes LDPC codes, which allow the system
to detect and correct errors more efficiently than before.

So much for anything you have encrypted ...
Yes, there are 'quantum-resistant' encryption
methods, but I'm not sure HOW resistant they are.
