Hmm. A couple days after the reports of Lockheed Martin becoming the first buyer of a commercial quantum computer:

Perhaps coincidence. Still, interesting.

Almost certainly a coincidence. RSA was under an Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) a while back in March, which might have lead to compromising the security of the SecurID tokens.

Do you think the method is scaleable up to the 128 qubits that D-Wave is claiming?
Well, there’s no reason of principle why you couldn’t scale to a larger
number of qubits! But given the history here, I’d be skeptical of
claims by D-Wave to have done so already, and would want to see the
evidence. (As usual, the burden is on D-Wave to prove that they’ve done
something, not on everyone else to prove that they haven’t!)
