- fsh 2y agoNone of the techniques achieve anywhere near the required performance metrics for useful QC. Improvements also appear to have slowed down accross the board despite massive investments. I would not hold my breath for QC to arrive anytime soon (if ever).

- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoSo, imminent?
- Spooky23 2y agoAny day now.
- fhub 2y agoIf there have been big breakthroughs I suspect they are classified.
- mcpherrinm 2y agohttps://sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_landscape_2023 https://sam-jaques.appspot.com/quantum_landscape_2023 This is a reasonable overview. It works and exists, but is not faster than classical computing. We need many orders of magnitude improvement before we get a cryptographically relevant quantum computer to break RSA etc. It’s not clear when that will happen. 10 years or 100?
- ganzuul 2y agoEstimates on complexity are shifting by 100x per company that gets funded, so it is still rumors of black swans.
