This may be the most eye-opening and clarifying thing I've read about this domain in literally years. Thank you.
The connection back to the complexity chasm that exists between NAND gates and Quake is also fantastic because as a "traditional" software engineer, it makes perfect sense.
It's also good remembering that most of the "academic science" that underlies computers was established almost 100 years ago. But it took this long for us to get GTA Online.
Whatever advances arrive from these developments in Quantum computing may not see practical groundbreaking applications until we're all very old and decrepit.
It's still incredible to hear about. The fact that our modern "wireless" world exists on fundamentally the same physical primitives as a radio wave pulsing morse code bouncing it off the ionosphere 100 years ago is mindboggling.
