  I think we should eliminate all references to "excellence" too. If we can't all be excellent no one should be acknowledged to be such.

  > In our view, ‘supremacy’ has overtones of violence, neocolonialism and racism The NSA has a large collection of encrypted data intercepted from the citizens of the world. In terms of being able to crack most public key encryption systems today by a quantum computer in the future, "supremacy" is an accurate description of what it is - violence and neocolonialism, and it's better to call it out, so I propose the following solution. If a powerful state/regime (and possibly corporation) has access to a powerful quantum computer, it's "quantum supremacy". If a scientific institution has access to a powerful quantum computer and uses it exclusively for civilian purposes and basic research programs, it's "quantum advantage".
