Downer: Quantum – Are We There Yet? No.
About the only thing really agreed upon was quantum computing remains very young and that there has been a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it.

About the only thing really agreed upon was quantum computing remains very young and that there has been a tremendous amount of hype surrounding it.
[R]eluctance to accept that practical quantum computing has arrived presumably stems from the question of whether it can do anything truly useful yet. Sure, one can construct a problem that is very hard for a classical device but ideally suited to a quantum computer and then demonstrate that only a few dozen qubits may be enough to achieve ‘supremacy’. But how helpful is that in the proverbial real world?
Today, we are still in the early stages of quantum computing so it’s hard to believe we may someday need to make these kinds of choices: which type of qubit (quantum bit) is right for which job?
Dell is creating the building blocks to assimilate quantum computers into conventional IT infrastructures as it opens datacenters to new types of accelerated computers.
Glasgow-based M Squared has revealed a prototype of the UK’s first commercial neutral atom quantum computer.
In this blogpost, [the authors] explain basic principles and use cases of quantum networks while explaining how a quantum repeater (a key piece of quantum network infrastructure) works…
VTT’s quantum computer HELMI (“Pearl”) has been connected with the pan-European supercomputer LUMI (“Snow”), hosted by CSC – IT Center for Science.
A research team from DTU has succeeded in designing and building a structure, a so-called dielectric nanocavity, which concentrates light in a volume that it is 12 times below the diffraction limit – inside a dielectric material.
To date, demonstrations of quantum advantage have involved significant “structure,” or back-and-forth communication among two or more parties.
Breakthrough Victoria will invest A$29 million in US-based global quantum leader ColdQuanta to create the ColdQuanta–Swinburne Quantum Technology Centre.
