| schestowitz[TR2] | Let's forget about "useful general purpose" for a minute, because to be fair you have to walk before you can run. Focusing on the walking part, it would be nice to see a quantum computing design that could actually be built outside of a specially-equipped laboratory, and that could actually solve even one type of problem in a consistent, accurate and reliable manner. | Jul 30 00:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Right now, quantum computers don't satisfy any of those conditions. They require custom, or at the very least, single-source components and materials. They require cooling to superconductive conditions. And as far as I know, there is no problem in any space for which a real life quantum computing solution actually exists. | Jul 30 00:17 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In theory, quantum computers can quickly factor large integers. Great...how about showing me a quantum computer that actually does it? Give me a keyboard and a screen, and let me type in a large number for Watson Q (or whatever the he-l IBM calls it) to factor, and display an answer. Where is it? Skip the keyboard and screen, and just put up a PC in front of it with a web server so the public can see it work. If IBM has anything, t | Jul 30 00:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | There is zero chance we have a useful general purpose quantum computer in the next decade. Not from IBM not from anyone. 20-30 years out it's harder to say but even for that there are enormous obstacles that have to be overcome around noise and error correction. | Jul 30 00:17 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | In the last six months, several actions have been undertaken by the administration related to the paper consumption.
