I think that there is a bigger gap that many think between what the community sees as realistic and what is read into that by investors and other technologists.

I think that there is a bigger gap that many think between what the community sees as realistic and what is read into that by investors and other technologists. I think that many people believe that a current 50-60qubit device "runs" in the way that a valve based computer did in the 1950s - for hours before a bug got into a valve (for example), and I also don't think that people appreciate that it takes 36 hrs to turn them on and calibrate them. I believe that most technologists think that getting to 20m noisy qubits is the challenge - but the reality is that there are a plethora of challenges that must be overcome to actually move an 20m noisy qubit device to a usable 20m noisy qubit device.
