Google claims to have already made a quantum computer that can solve certain problems much faster than a classical computer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum/_supremacy

The problem they solved was one of sampling a quantum circuit, though. Nothing to do with factoring integers or breaking crypto, as far as I can tell.

Also, HP then built a classical supercomputer that (using AMD CPUs and GPUs) simulates qubits far faster than the Google machine with actual qubits, so 🤷‍♂️.
