>The real problem is that this is all live science being done as commercial development. That's been my observation regarding quantum computing since I was first exposed to it around a decade ago. That these are really cool science experiments (in a very literal sense) that are being billed as early stage product development by the companies involved. It's giving the public the impression that quantum computing is at the stage of Woz wiring together the first Apple I in his garage when in fact we're at the stage of research done by Geissler and Crooke in the 1850s that would lead to the development of the first vacuum tube 50 years later.
