I mostly agree with this. If you are interested in Extended Church-Turing Thesis, this event is very important. If you are interested in factoring, this is a non-event. I think most people are interested in factoring.
- jeeceebees 7y agoI don't think it's a non-event even if you're only interested in factoring. This proves the underlying principle of a quantum speedup is a physical reality. It might be something people already take for granted if they're interested in factoring, but it's a crucial prerequisite that was not yet irrefutable.
