Quantum computers will certainly impact cryptography where there's
heavy reliance on factoring primes and discrete logarithms.
I am really interested in the problem of factoring primes. Will a
quantum computer help?
Of course, the mathematicians will add (even unconsciously) “into”
between factoring and primes :)
Perhaps mathematicians lack a sense of the ridiculous....or a sense
of humour!

Actually, if Bruce is really interested in factoring primes, I can
lend him some real numbers.
Or "primes" = "prime cuts of beef", and "factor" = "deal with goods as a
factor or agent".
