Forgive my ignorance, but this is progress, correct? A stepping stone along the path to "quantum algorithms that we do care about"?

- codehalo 4y agoYou are not the ignorant one here.
- PeterisP 4y agoI believe we had publications of multiple other similar scale (200-ish qubit) systems before, and it's progress if and only if the particular physical process (there are many very different, effectively unrelated physical processes which have been used to build quantum computers - many of these other quantum computing systems have little in common) can scale to 100x more qubits without succumbing to noise that destroys coherence. Perhaps this one has this potential, I can't judge that, but they don't seem to be asserting it.
