For real? I wouldn't have thought so many would be possible so soon. Might actually need to look into quantum computing again after 20 years.

They did not make a 17000 qubit computer. The qubits were not controllable or general in any way. The paper is linked, look at it.

This title is misleading.

It is still orders of magnitude away from breaking RSA 2048 even under the most optimistic assumptions. And qubits double waaay slower than transistors so far.
