To me, the big question is what do we mean when we say "quantum computer". This is a thick stew mixing together complex math -- and computer algorithms and architectures. It's like a trifecta.
When Google comes out and announced "quantum supremacy" only to get pushback from other quantum teams suggests we still don't even know what we're trying to build.
- bawolff 7y agoI think everyone knows what we want to build (A large-scale quantum error corrected device that we can run shors algorithm, etc on). But we are nowhere remotely near that so we have to argue over much less impressive milestones (not that what google did isn't impressive, it is. Just far off from our quantum dreams)
- sanxiyn 7y agoWe know what we're trying to build. Pushback came from that shared understanding, not from lack of it.
