Wow, cool! Thanks for the ping. Didn’t know any company and/or government had gotten up to 2,000 cubits yet.

BTW, do you think there are any Manhattan-type projects out there pushing things out to the mega- or gigacubit range, and what kind of problems would require that kind of computational power?

I don’t know much about this stuff, but am beginning to suspect that such machines and true AI may go hand in hand.

Oops, of course I meant qubit! But my mind was in a quantum mechanical state whereby every possible spelling was taken into consideration, even wrong ones.
