Since it’s Google, I’m sure the Chicoms have it by now.

What kind of task do these quantum computers undertake?

Sounds like a monopoly to me. Bust google into a billion pieces and void all their patents opening up what little is left to competition.

The only problem with these computers is they have to write their own language to use them since their entire makeup (use of binary code) is different from standard machines.

“Since it’s Google, I’m sure the Chicoms have it by now.”

Right, this is the same company whose employees were ready to walk out rather then do any work for the DOD.

From the excerpt:

Dario Gil of IBM, which is also working on quantum computers, says an experiment that was probably designed around a very narrow quantum sampling problem

Mainly, they are very good a reversing polarity.

a team of researchers from Google led by John Martinis have demonstrated quantum supremacy for the first time.

Headline: Martinis demonstrate quantum supremacy for
first time.

Reversing the polarity of the neutron flow?

It was good enough for Dr. Who.

Read that. What kind of sampling problem? What would take 10,000 years of computation to solve? Something such as tracing the trajectory of every subatomic particle after a nuclear explosion? Just a guess, I have no idea.

Quantum Supremacy?

I believe this is where 007 (Bond, James Bond) steps in and destroys the whole organization culminating in the epic deaths of the top henchman and the evil leader.

They are a direct blatant threat to the United States. We have overwhelming evidence of that, we have their own employees on videotape saying that Google has and will manipulate the election and nobody is doing anything about it. Instead we have these wet piles of mush calling themselves Republicans who run and hide under their desks anytime the Treasonists bring up the Russia collusion hoax “woo wooo” while the real “election rigging” is going on right under their noses.
