We are getting so close...…

How significant is this milestone? Very. In a discussion of quantum computing at MIT Technology Review’s EmTech conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts this week before news of Google’s paper came out, Will Oliver, an MIT professor and quantum specialist, likened the computing milestone to the first flight of the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk in aviation. He said it would give added impetus to research in the field, which should help quantum machines achieve their promise more quickly. Their immense processing power could ultimately help researchers and companies discover new drugs and materials, create more efficient supply chains, and turbocharge AI.

I don't know whether this is good news or bad news. The fact that Google has it implies that the Chinese, not the United States, will be the owners.

Who is going to check their answer to make sure that it’s right?

Confident that this is a lower standard than actually doing something like hanging your own carcass in midair over the dunes of Kill Devil Hills.

If true we are closer to war than ever before simply because the World with the UN as justification will demand to have that power given to it or they must fight to destroy the company, nation or peoples who hold that power....

OK! Quantum grant boondoggle train is about to get overloaded...

I'm going to skip all that mess and start developing sputum computing... Will be far more flexible and powerful on the gonad-computing scale...

Will title the grant request as "Project To Reduce Whiteness And Expand Diversity In Computing Technologies"... Now have to figure out how to efficiently spend millions and millions of untraceable dollars....
