given the potential grave implications for crypto-cracking and secure communication, wouldn't any true "quantum supremacy" be heavily classified by shadowy national security?

FWIW, based on all the leaks so far, there is currently no indication that the NSA has efficient factorization

No offense taken! Based on some people I consider to be knowledgeable, the leaks were correct, which is consistent with the reaction of the involved governments and Snowden himself. It might be an elaborate ruse, but I find it more plausible that detracting from them is a ruse!

I used to fear the masterminds of the deep state and their skills to pull off larger stunts like this, but in the last year, I lost all my respect for their abilities. The best explanation is that there is absolutely no hidden reservoir of people who know what they are doing.

Since I don't know any of the actors involved, I think that this is a possibility. I trust that if you had solid evidence you would not discuss the opinions you base on them with strangers on twitter :)

That would have to imply that there is a large set of tech we can plausibly infer, and Snowden is selectively disclosing the subset that is more haunting than effective. Taps at Google, BND tapping Germany for US, UK doing full take of undersea comms... is NOT what I would leak
