    Well, they are temporary advantages of the Chinese, since this race has only just begun. Today many large corporations have projects of this type, apart from Google and IBM, Facebook also has, NASA and some others.

      Why? Quantum computers only really break “conventional” asymmetric encryption and there are mature “quantum safe” alternatives.
