What's the significance of reaching the Qplasma = 1 milestone? They get to uncork some champagne, but they still need to get Q up to ~10 before handing it off to the powerplant engineers.

I don't think so, checking Siemens they're touting a 65% efficient 600MW turbine. The higher number might be including some application for the waste heat.

I think that view was based on the (probably correct) idea that sufficiently reliable physical qubits could not be built. The more qubits in the computer, the more reliable the qubits would need to be. Since the discovery of quantum ECC, th

Forecasting is done, and it's done by creating ensembles of weather simulations. Weather is chaotic, which is why forecast accuracy rapidly drops off the further out in time you make predictions. But still, they can be accurate enough

Also a layperson, but as I understand it. We do have the algorithms to simulate quantum systems with n states to arbitrary precision through brute force. But they require that you can put ~n bits into a superposition state. If your computer

>Isn't that the definition of rotation, the "exchanging one dimension for another"? Maybe? I think it allows solutions not typically considered to be rotations, like the special relativity example.

Linear independence doesn't guarantee that you can rotate, for that you need to know how to exchange one dimension for another. Essentially you need to define a Pythagorean theorem for your space. You can do that for the car vector spa
