The state of the art quantum computers you can find at university labs are completely and utterly useless compared to classical computers, with the exception of extremely contrived problems (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1666-5).
I swear this quantum computer nonsense is shilling designed to make Q followers look like they just accept things at face value. The only apparent advantage a quantum computer has over a classical computer is a theoretical (asymptotic, worst case) speedup on some classes of algorithms. A classical computer can simulate a quantum computer, i.e perform the exact same computations. And like I just said, the best quantum computers cannot get a real speedup on almost any problems. There is no super secret quantum research and engineering group that is twenty years ahead of everyone else, because it is a monumental effort of design and engineering and iteration that no single Einstein could do on his own.
I'm at the point where the only explanation that makes sense is either time travelers or quantum computers calculating the future
Just saying, a quantum computer would make all of this a WHOLE lot easier.
That said, great post. ?
