 It's only 22 bit though we could also do that with a classical computer easily  
 Headlines are made this way as clickbait  
 Wait a year though 👀 
 Idk man, these quantum computer claims have been more marketing than substance for a long time  
 This is obviously interesting, but somehow not passing my bullshit test .. If Chinese researchers were able to crack military grade encryption, then why would they tell everyone about it?
