I have seen all kind of claims, bit they seems to be in the future, like 1.000.000qbits or perfect error correction.

Do they have a real breakthrough or is it just undergoing advancments on a slow road?

    Same feeling here, and quantum resistant algos for asymmetric encryption ate already designed and are coming.

    Without that, quantum computers wouldn’t only break military stuff but also wreck havoc on the internet by breaking ssh (and bitcoin, lol).

        Yeah but

        1. he’s not specialised in quantum computing

        2. he’s a venture capitalist, it’s his job to sell his stuff.

        3. even if it does work, we just have to use the new quantum resistant assymetric algorithms (selected last summer, so they do already exist) to make this e-waste.

        4. they lied in 2018 about topological qbits (retracted in 2021), this might just be a funding scheme…

        5. they have, supposedly, made one qbit. And the big thing is they have a roadmap of 25 years to make the big breakthrough… Gimme money for 25 years, I’ll be retired before that happens…

        Let’s see what happens, but I’m not laying awake thinking about topological qbits exactly.
