ooh good deep dive.

investment in quantum computing by the US government has doubled in less than 4 years, I know China is throwing huge amounts of money at it also, but you won’t see large public investment until commercially available products become widespread, which is not to say that you can’t invest in qcomputing if you want to.

let me know what you find with air travel investment 120 years ago, I’m be pretty interested.

that other comment you’re referencing include several quotes from darba after trying out eight of the commercially available quantum computers now.

The results are mixed, but it’s important to note that DARPA didn’t say quantum computing isn’t real or isn’t practical, they just aren’t ready to consistently tackle the problems. DARPA is putting them through, which is a lot like saying a 1995 desktop can’t run Witcher 3.

and for fun, that’s obviously the information DARPA has publicly shared, anything quantum computing could be positively applied to with significant efficacy would be a matter of national security at this point.

not as relevant as the actual results DARPA is releasing, but important to keep in mind that satellite phones were around '62 but weren’t commercially available for at least 30 years.

Three decades of practical development and use cases before that tech becomes mainstream.
