aiqbench analysis
This is a vendor-reported resource estimate, not a demonstrated factoring run. Iceberg Quantum's claims rest on its own circuit-level simulations of QLDPC codes and its Crevasse decoder, so the figures (48,000 to 72,000 physical qubits for RSA-2048) should be checked against independent analysis. The result still matters for readers because it shows continued drops in the overhead needed for fault-tolerant cryptanalysis, which strengthens the case for accelerating post-quantum cryptography migration.
Iceberg Quantum Validates Pinnacle 1.2 Architecture with Crevasse QLDPC Decoder to Reduce RSA-2048 Factoring Resources
Iceberg Quantum's Pinnacle 1.2 architecture, featuring the Crevasse QLDPC decoder, significantly reduces the resources needed to factor RSA-2048. They achieved logical error rates below 10^-12 per logical qubit-cycle, a critical threshold for this task, through direct circuit-level simulations. This breakthrough could factor RSA-2048 in as little as 0.98 days with 48,000 physical qubits.

Fault-tolerant quantum architecture startup Iceberg Quantum has released Pinnacle 1.2, demonstrating direct circuit-level simulations of quantum low-density parity-check (QLDPC) codes that validate logical error rates below 10-12 per logical qubit-cycle—the threshold required to execute 2048-bit RSA integer factorization. The breakthrough is enabled by Crevasse, Iceberg…
