Huh I’m not an expert but doesn’t AWS already offer quantum computing as a service? https://aws.amazon.com/braket/ https://aws.amazon.com/braket/

  They do not offer anything of use. This is just a demo for an API that in principle can be used as an "assembly language" for quantum computers, but it either runs on simulators that can not do more than 10 "perfect" qubits, or on hardware that has 100-ish "noisy" qubits. You need about a million "noisy" qubits, together with error correction codes, to encode 1000 logical "perfect" qubits. That is about the minimal number at which you can do something useful.

    All true, but in the context of the thread, the future of quantum computing will probably be remote. So the bulk of the machinery is irrelevant.

      Unless the bulk required to be useful is infeasible to assemble anywhere.

        You'll need to build a Dyson Sphere to power your quantum chip factory! https://dyson-sphere-program.fandom.com/wiki/Quantum_Chip https://dyson-sphere-program.fandom.com/wiki/Quantum_Chip QUANTUM CHIPS Running low?

    Once we get to 640,000 perfect qubits we'll be done, because no one needs more than 640k.

  I thought this was simulated quantum annealing.
