Will IBM's Condor quantum processor run Shor's Algorithm to crack a 256-bit Elliptic Curve key?
Yesterday IBM announced that they have a 433 bit quantum computer, called Osprey. There is nothing in the press releases I can find that says whether it can or cannot run Shor's Algorithm.
They also ...

Post-quantum aggregate / multi signatures
Are there any practical post-quantum aggregate / multi signatures?
Currently, the aggregate / multi signature schemes seem to be limited to pre-quantum elliptic curve assumptions only, e.g., [BDN18], [...
