How Do Google Willow's Results Affect Quantum Computing Timelines?


As a model question, I think it is most interesting to consider when RSA-2048 will be factored using a quantum computer. Are we going to see the internet's cryptography breaking much sooner than expected?

Edit: Also curious if any experts have hard dates when they expect this milestone to be reached.

What time frame do you think, 15 or 20 years or longer?
