Public-key cryptography is a critical technology for securing communications over the internet and other communications channels. The two public-key technologies in widespread use today are RSA and elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). It has been known since 1994 that both these technologies are completely insecure against attacks by computers that are capable of exploiting quantum mechanical effects. However, despite intensive efforts around the world, it is still not known whether such large-scale quantum computers can actually be built.

公钥加密是一种用于保护互联网和其他通信渠道上的通信的关键技术。目前广泛使用的两种公钥技术是RSA和椭圆曲线密码术（ECC）。自1994年以来，人们就知道这两种技术对于能够利用量子力学效应的计算机的攻击是完全不安全的。然而，尽管全世界都在加紧努力，但目前还不知道这种大规模的量子计算机是否真的可以建造出来。
