Seems like we have 6 qbit chip available now:

@Ponderable
Puts it about level with an abacus, right? I think it will take more like a million Qbits to go past modern supercomputers. This is an early demo and they have to figure out how to combine hundreds of Qbits so lets hope they can do that part.

That is why I wrote "a step forward" instead of "mindboggling breakthrough" 😉

I thought there were Qbit systems already with a dozen or more Q's?

@ogb
So Denzell says 'add in noise' and a QC is suspect? Or maybe a known digital supercomputer that could come to the right solution as well as a QC?
I still think superpower won't happen till QC comps and digital comps are designed to do the best of both worlds simultaneously and come up with answers like from god🙂
