The Hardware Threshold Just Collapsed. Migration Hasn't Started.

New QLDPC-based architecture reduces physical qubits needed to break RSA-2048 from ~1 million to under 100,000 — a 10x overnight collapse. IonQ hits 99.99% gate fidelity in the lab, plans 256 qubits at four-nines this year. Infleqtion runs Shor's algorithm on logical qubits with 1,600 atoms. QuTech reads Majorana qubits for the first time. Nature confirms the "vibe shift": useful quantum computers within a decade. Meanwhile, ~6.9 million BTC sit in addresses with exposed public keys, migration takes 5-7 years, and Bitcoin hasn't started.
