Comment on IBM releases first-ever 1,000-qubit quantum chip
WHYAREWEALLCAPS@kbin.social 11 months agoSo, basically, we're still in the ENIAC stage of quantum computers. They're cool and all, can do some awesome stuff, but are no where near the potential they could be.

I think that’s a fair comparison exactly! We’re using physical Josephson junctions, almost to quantum computers as vacuum tubes to a classical computer, and we’ve not made a transistor yet. Some companies claim they have, like D-Wave, but have failed to prove anything quantum mechanical about those “solid-state” qubits.
