    IBM’s roadmap is pretty aggressive, with users projected to start running “large-scale quantum-centric problems by 2029”

    With respect to theory, Google’s 105-qubit Willow processor performed a benchmark task in 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest classical supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete.

    I’m not sure this stuff is as theoretical or distant as it might feel.

      I’ll believe it when I see it tbh, these companies are known to lie through their teeth about this shit, quantum computing is IMO a bubble not too dissimilar to the AI bubble, just maybe less money overall involved.
