like the metal chilled to nearly 460 degrees below zero inside Google’s machine.

That's a pretty neat trick...............I don't think they'll be doing it on desktops any time soon.................

Honeywell also says it can hit pause on a quantum computation, read off the state of a qubit, and then restart the computation down a different path depending on the result.

I am not sure that Heisenberg would agree to this ...
