-> Quantum computers, once seen as a remote theoretical possibility, are now widely expected to work within five to 30 years.
Not my field of expertise so forgive the ignorance, but am I wrong to think that "five to 30 years" seems like a large spread? How close are we really to quantum computing?

- tedunangst 11y agoWhenever I see a prediction like "five years away", the first thing I ask is "how far away was it five years ago?".
- plonh 11y agoQuantum computers are well understood and prototyped by experts in the field. What most people don't understand is that Q cannot solve NP-hard problems in polynomial time.
