Something over a kilowatt of sunlight goes in the top of the machine. About 195 billionths of a watt does the work. Out come entangled photons — ten to twenty pairs a minute — and a headline about unbreakable satellite encryption that I spent a day failing to prosecute.

A computer just did in five minutes what would take the fastest supercomputer ten septillion years. When one of these finally picks the internet's locks, someone will already be holding a copy of your secrets — waiting.
