Researchers have successfully executed quantum cryptanalysis on real IBM quantum hardware, specifically targeting symmetric cipher structures. They extended the Even-Mansour period recovery from a security parameter of N=4 to N=10 using Simon's algorithm on IBM's Heron generation processors. The study also benchmarked five different quantum attacks across four cipher design paradigms, demonstrating their execution on up to 25 qubits in simulation and submitting a 21-qubit instance to hardware. The work highlights real-hardware demonstrations at record structure sizes and provides a reproducible benchmark, while clarifying that these attacks target reduced constructions and do not break full AES or RSA.
