HSBC unleashes yet another β€œqombie”: a zombie claim of quantum advantage that isn’t Today, I got email after email asking me to comment on a new paper from HSBCβ€”yes, the bankβ€”together with IBM. The paper claims to use a quantum computer to get a 34% advantage in predic…

I was going to post a rant about the perils of quantum computing hype, following the claim by #HSBC & #IBM that they have improved bond market predictions using a QC, but instead I will just link to Scott Aaronson's blog which says it all scottaaronson.blog?p=9170 πŸ§ͺβš›οΈ cc @bullshitquantum.bsky.social

In this book, @csferrie.com defines bullshit as

"...deceptive nontruth. It's not necessarily a lie, because a lie implies the liar knows the truth."

he is expert in quantum bullshit.
