Live footage of Nobel committee giving the Physics prize to quantum computing.

QC is not ready for primetime. This is an interesting discovery on its own merits, with applications beyond QC, though QC is heavily implicated.

You are on this council meme but we do not grant you the rank of master, but with quantum computing

The correct decision from the Nobel committee. If they had even muttered the words "quantum computing" the number of start-up founders posting about their quantum crypto coin NFTs would break LinkedIn.

Especially since it's the international year of quantum!

Let's see, it's the international year of quantum after all... 🤞

Trump offers top universities funds if they boost conservative ideas Brown and MIT among nine schools told to back conservative views or risk losing federal support, sparking free speech fears

Here are three conservative ideas that MIT can promote:
1. conservation of energy
2. conservation of momentum
3. conservation of charge

So far I have not heard anyone unrelated to this study speak out positively about it, neither in person nor online. The reactions I've seen range from a mere shoulder shrug to unequivocally calling it out as cargo cult science and corporate bullshit (like the one below).

Great title!

Often a struggle within the strictures of journalistic convention (it is impolite speculation) to convey that quantum computing developments from IBM, etc. are framed, timed, and planned for business/market reasons, so I appreciate Juan for just coming out and say it.

When you release a new paper, what are you most concerned about - the reaction of other scientists or the reaction of the market? Scientists in academia and industry have different incentives...

Does applying noise classically instead of using a quantum computer also make it better?

Bit grim seeing the FT treat HSBC’s quantum computing theatre as actual news. Why worry about fake news when the establishment press has already been lobotomised by corporate press releases?

I wish HSBC (my mortgage provider) were as flexible with my interest rate as they are with reality…

There should be no misunderstanding that this is utter and complete corporate BS. No quantum computers are needed for whatever they did in this work. It's a shame to see IBM depart from their fact-based approach. See Scott Aaronson's blog post: scottaaronson.blog?p=9170

Yes, it looks like. What did I do wrong? Are memes not allowed there?

Meme about noise from quantum industry vs me.

Now you need to create your own quantum empire!

I'm sure there's valuable science in there but experts I consulted were not super convinced by the paper (why does it work better with noise? Why didn't they compare to the best available classical algo?) We won't cover it. Alas others already have&without outside comment www.ft.com/content/d9d4...
