Just to point it out this isn’t a jab at QC but rather a jab at project 11 and possibly the submission author, basically they failed to validate the submission properly and the code proves that the solution is classical.
Recovering a 17bit ecc key isn’t a challenge for current classical computers via brute force.
[dead]
if the solution is faster than random it could still be a real solution on a quantum computer.
well, it's slower than random
“recovers every reported private key at statistically indistinguishable rates from the IBM hardware runs.”
