be speeded up by making some gross heuristic approximations that are
usually true. Ignoring almost irrelevant noisy information may work.
Nothing can surpass an N bit quantum computer for factoring products of impossibly long primes. [snip...]

10^18 or so, if even that.

I remain unconvinced that quantum computers can be made reliable enough to do anything remotely useful in the real world. OTOH they have been making real progress and today's mobile phones look like magic compared to the big iron of
yesteryear. My first mainframe IBM 370/165 had a whopping 4MB of main memory and you had to get a special ticket to use more than 500k at once. Algebra systems wouldn't run in less than 2MB.

Predicting that something "can't" be done/happen is usually folly.
Predicting that something WON'T (volition) be done is a safer bet.

What will probably happen is that quantum computing will fail
to live up to expectations and at some point, funding will run
dry.

My first AI course (mid 70's) predicted it would be "about 10 years"
for AI to be practical. That prediction was repeated "about every
10 years" and came to be a bit of a standing joke.
Now, almost "suddenly", it's "here" (in a particular form) and
folks are unprepared for it (both to exploit it and safeguard
against it).
Not only is it available but it is also ACCESSIBLE (early predictions
treated it as an "ivory tower" sort of technology; clearly not something
that Joe Average User could access!)
