1 reply \ @kepford OP 11 Dec \ on: Some Much Needed Context Regarding Google's Quantum Supremacy Press Release tech
One reason I shared this commentary was that I meet people that periodically freak out about quantum computing. I've been hearing about it for so long I kinda tune it out but I want people to hear a rational counter to the hype. The sky is not falling. Not yet at least.

Estimates say that we will need about 1 million qubits for practically useful applications
4k logical qubits can be enough for breaking RSA/ECDSA
And, the Google recent discovery is not about 105 qubits, but about error correction is improving with increasing number of qubits, exactly opposite to all previous approaches. And that's the only crucial thing here.
In other words, you won't simply need milions of physical qubits anymore - to reach 4k logical level.
