Somewhat related, the experiment ongoing at https://www.ecdsa.fail/ is fascinating: it's a competitive, leaderboard-style research challenge trying to optimise a quantum circuit for breaking ECDSA (specifically the elliptic-curve point addition in Shor's algorithm). It quickly surpassed a result announced by Google researchers last month. Now it's showing a 40% gain over Google's result.

TDLR: No.

That's not a very good tldr. The answer claimed in the paper is that the combination of the two is better than either alone.

Their centaur idea[1] is interesting and quite straightforward. It should be fairly easy to implement using a coding agent for the LLM and the ask-and-tell interface in pycma[2].
