Comment on IBM releases first-ever 1,000-qubit quantum chip

  I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.

  So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I'm a time traveler.

    Great ! …and you run this code on a quantum computer ? … and it did indeed save time (over classical) ? … and you and your group published a paper highlighting this ?

    Only I’m not sure of any paper published ever doing that and I seek to find one that do this without ambiguity since many years now. Of course, it is not my domain and I may be completely mistaken.

    Please forgive my tone and arrogance - - I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings - - but it’s been promised for a long time now and I’m growing impatient and skeptical.

    Thanks for your time, take care.

      Almost like development is slow, yet not stagnant.

        R&D (research end developpement) is essential, yet, most research projects leads to dead ends.
        I say we should continue R&D in this quantum computing but, in the meantime, it is useless.
