AFAIK quantum computing's only demonstrations of being able to break encryption using Shore's algorithm was in a toy problem where they already knew the answer and it was like 5 bits long and satisfied a particularly easy pattern. I'll be impressed when it can break 192-bit encryption with proper entropy.
NIST says 2035 should be the target date for organizations to get to something quantum resistant. The talk I saw at DefCon this year laid out a very convincing argument that due to advancements in the implementation of Shorr's, as well as one other algorithm, that's not an aggressive enough target and we should really be shooting for 2030. Apparently IBM has never missed a target date, and they're looking at having enough logical Qubits by 2032 or so.
