Oratomic launches to build 10k-qubit Shor's machine

The "Y2Q" countdown just lost a decade; we are no longer waiting for millions of qubits to break current encryption.

• –Oratomic’s use of "optical tweezers" to dynamically rearrange neutral-atom qubits enables the high-rate error correction codes that superconducting chips simply cannot support due to their fixed connectivity.
• –Google’s parallel (and secretive) zero-knowledge proof for an ECC-breaking circuit confirms that the race to "cryptographic relevance" has shifted from theoretical physics to a strategic technological arms race.
• –The sudden feasibility of breaking P-256 and RSA-2048 with 10k-26k qubits makes immediate migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) a mandatory security priority for financial and government infrastructure.
• –While the hardware is still scaling, the mathematical and architectural path to breaking Bitcoin's elliptic curve signatures is now clearly defined and significantly shorter than previously predicted.
