I'll believe it when I see it. There's a long, long way to go between current quantum tech and something that can crack modern 4096-bit RSA.

And honestly, it'll probably come so slowly that we'll have all switched to better algorithms by the time RSA cracking becomes feasible. (Yeah, I know about store now decrypt later, but that won't really affect the average person if it takes decades to come to fruition.)
