- A chart plotting number of qubits against error rate, showing current quantum computers and the required capabilities of quantum computers to break RSA or solve chemistry problems. Today's quantum computers are in a tiny blob in the corner, with few qubits and high error rates. It just touches a large blue region representing where surface codes will work. Far to the right of the chart are steep lines representing the resources necessary to break RSA. The chart visually emphasizes the conclusion of the blog post, which is that there is a big gulf between today's quantum computers and what is necessary to break RSA. (remote)
