Finally, someone mentioning Shor and his algorithm. Shor’s algorithm is where the rubber meets the road for me. Synthetic benchmarks like what Google made just aren’t that useful imo. There’s even a case to be made that all the work needed to make quantum computing reliable negates the supposed advantage and makes it no more unscalable than conventional computing. I don’t subscribe to that, but a successful Shor’s Algorithm attack on RSA (with enough bits) would certainly prove that wrong.
