    And crashing the markets in the process...
    At the same time they came out with a bunch of mambo jumbo and scifi babble about having a million qbit quantum chip.... 😂

      Tech is basically trying to push up the stocks one hype idea after another. Social media bubble about to burst? AI! AI about to burst? Quantum! I'm sure that when people will start realizing quantum computing is another smokescreen, a new moronic idea will start to gain steam from all those LinkedIn "luminaries"

        Quantum computation is a lot like fusion.

        We know how it works and we know that it would be highly beneficial to society but, getting it to work with reliability and at scale is hard and expensive.

        Sure, things get over hyped because capitalism but that doesn't make the technology worthless... It just shows how our economic system rewards lies and misleading people for money.

          It also can solve only a limited set of problems. People is under the impression that they can suddenly game at 10k full path ray tracing if they have a quantum cpu, while in reality for 99.9% of the problem is only as fast as normal cpus

            That doesn't make it worthless.

            People are often wrong about technology, that's independent of the technology's usefulness. Quantum computation is incredibly useful for the applications that require it, things that are completely impossible to calculate with classical computers can be done using quantum algorithms.

            This is true even if there are people on social media who think that it's a new graphics card.

              Absolutely, but its application is not as widespread as someone not into science might think. The only thing it might actually impact the average Joe is cryptography I think
