Am I mistaken that Shor's algorithm is the only known algorithm with quantum supremacy that poses a threat to encryption algorithms? If not, then why are you so concerned about the future of cryptography?

If it continues to be difficult to create a general-purpose quantum computer, then there may be less need to worry about quantum attacks that require hardware with lots of fault-tolerance. We may only need to worry about quantum attacks that will be feasible on the best imaginable quantum hardware. Do you have any insights about which cryptographic methods (or problem classes) may be broken first?

Do you think that Google will be able to break the quantum computing "record" with its new chip design? link
