NO. It is impossible to doubt, the race was over before it begun.
Quantum computing started in 1982 at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ) [1-3].

The biggest number to be factored is 35, by quantum computing achieved on IBM’s Quantum Computer (https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.00768).
35 is a 6-bit number, so we are far away from 2048 bit RSA keys (which has 617 decimal digits – compared to these 2 digits!!!)
In fact most people surely burst out laughing at this tiny number…
