No, but we can move to quantum computing, which may become
a reality before too long.

 
I heard about that before I was born.

Yes, the algorithms are farther away from the computers. Doesn't that

They do not. PQC algorithms run on ordinary computers.

but “already researching” is severely behind the times. Multiple PQC
algorithms are well past the research stage, with finalized standards
published in August and a couple more on the way. Adaptation of
higher-level standards (APIs, PKI, etc) and adoption leading to
deployment is well underway.

Yep. The algorithms. For the big computers, it's another story.

I suspect you (and perhaps the previous poster) have misunderstood what
post-quantum cryptography is.
