Kidney's full article, "How to factor 2048 bit RSA integers with less than a million noisy qubits" is here: arxiv.org/pdf/2505.15917

We'll be updating and linking it on quantum doom clock shortly!

Kidney's treatment is, of course, substantially more thorough than the estimates on quantumdoomclock.com - but this convergence on estimates is key evidence that the progress is real and accelerating!

I'm pretty sure people had to die (and I know a few got arrested/harassed) to get the usernames feature...

Not holding out hope that they'll fix the IME problem anytime soon either.

It is a shame they are favoring KEM w/ lattice, I would love to see sanctioned NIKE like CTIDH with smaller key sizes.

No need to worry yet, but the quantum computing progress heated up this year especially (5k qubits announcement 2 weeks ago), so a plan to sunset in 10 years makes sense and may end up looking lax.
