> the platform can already solve problems that were considered too complex for classical computer systems to handle Uhm, quantum computers can be simulated by a classic computer with exponential slowdown. So the speedup can be no more than on the order of 2^17 = 131072. But I think it's fair to assume that a single operation on the quantum computer is much much slower than state of the art classic computers. So doesn't it seems doubtful that they can actually do anything faster with this than with a classic computer? I would think that we have to get in the high 20's to low 30's of qbits before it can actually beat a classic computer or a cluster of them.
