Quantum Resource Estimator (2D): Qubits to Break RSA

A 2D grid view of the same quantum resource-estimation math: dial an RSA key size and a physical qubit error rate, and watch the surface-code distance, physical-qubit overhead and total fault-tolerant qubit count needed to run Shor's algorithm scale in real time, benchmarked against IBM's qubit roadmap.

Every claim about quantum computers threatening RSA or ECC encryption hides a hardware bill: Shor's algorithm needs real logical qubits, and every logical qubit needs a surface-code patch of many noisy physical qubits underneath it. This 2D companion to the 3D resource estimator makes that bill explicit with the same underlying math — pick an RSA key size and a physical gate error rate, and watch it compute the logical qubit count, the surface-code distance required to hit a target success probability, the physical-to-logical overhead, and the grand total physical qubit count, rendered as a flat grid of glowing surface-code tiles and checked against IBM's own public qubit-count roadmap.

A flat grid view of the same Shor's-algorithm resource-estimation math as the 3D original: dial an RSA key size, physical error rate and target success probability, and watch the required surface-code distance and total physical qubit count update live, checked against IBM's public qubit roadmap.
