Silly

what are they defining as a quantum computer lul

theyre just ordinary computers that go fast

So Google claimed it made one that performs "a calculation ttatd take normal comps millennia"

A computer that has non-distinctive binary code recognition

But they kinda retracted the claim

The point at which we can actually make calculations with them that are useful is probably close

Even though it runs using the principles that makes the computer a quantum computer?

<:WhatThe:543598290936004638>

A computer, the calculations done by which are derived from quantum fluctuations as opposed to electrical binary

you mean its probably far away as fuck

Uses Qubits but ain’t quantum

Yes Sam, that

It’s close Luci

You can't just have a 'fast computer' and call it a quantum computer

Not like tomorrow close but

They're fundamentally two different things

unless google is lying

like they always do

Next 10-20 years close

lol

Which runs on different principles

Of course they are

IBM isn’t lying

@Samaritan™ okay those numbers are literally just Google doing some math in excel

But in which direction

@lunemarie like how fusion is only 20 years away?

xD

Maybe

Because you can use IBMs

We said fusion was 20 years away 20 years go

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Q_System_One

@Samaritan™ their quantum computer isn't even functional enough to do that

The article isn't exactly from a trustworthy source

"IBM Q System One is the world's first-ever circuit-based commercial quantum computer, introduced by IBM in January 2019"

We keep coming close to a breakthrough on fusion, and fucking up and finding a new wall

But it works as a good hypothetical

"designed by UK-based Map Project Office and Universal Design Studio and manufactured by Goppion"

**RULE BRITTANIA**

Unless you have another example to point to
