| Metric | Oratomic (Neutral-Atom) | Google Quantum AI (Superconducting) |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Qubits for ECC-256 | 10,000 (space-efficient) / 26,000 (time-efficient) | ~500,000 |
| Time to Crack ECC-256 | ~3 years (space-efficient) / 10 days (time-efficient) | 18 minutes (potentially 9 min with precomputation) |
| Time to Crack RSA-2048 | 120 years (10K qubits) / 97 days (100K qubits) | Not separately reported |
| Error-Correction Method | qLDPC codes (high encoding rate of ~1:2–1:10) | Surface code (encoding rate of ~1:100–1:1000) |
| Current Hardware & Status | 6,100 qubits demonstrated (not yet computational); preprint, not yet peer-reviewed | 105-qubit Willow processor; white paper with zero-knowledge proof disclosure |
