Which hour ? If they create real quantum computer they can start identifying person that creates reality for all of us, assuming reality is broadcasted by collective mind, I doubt they can do it right now and I am sure the moment they start that person will log out from internet. Good bye then.

Maybe they can use the same techniques for keeping their product management and feature roadmap for more than an hour.
Seeing quantum computers work will be like seeing mathemagics at work, doing it all behind the scenes. Physically (for the small ones) it looks the same, but abstractly it can perform all kinds of deep mathematics.

108 qubits, but error correction duty for some of them?
What size RSA key can it factor "instantly"?
Currently none, I think it's allegedly 2000 qbits to break RSA
afaik, without a need for error correction a quantum computer with 256 bits could break an old 256 bit RSA key. RSA keys are made by taking 2 (x-1 bit) primes and multiplying them together. It is relatively simple algorithms to factor numbers that size on both classsical and quantum computers, However, the larger the number/bits, the more billions of billions of years it takes a classical computer to factor it. The limit for a quantum computer is how many "practical qubits" it has. OP's article did not answer this, and so far no quantum computer has been able to solve factoring a number any faster than your phone can in under a half second.
