There’s been a lot of hype and fear this week. But actually the only practical thing that quantum computers can do right now is remind us that quantum computers exist. https://t.co/A2Nmg7TddL

I know it seems unlikely for “Harry Potter in the woods,” but this is literally a plot point in the third Arlo Finch, due out February 2020. https://t.co/zsD4iMQgF3

The news that Google has reportedly achieved "quantum supremacy" has set off a cycle of hype and hysteria. Here's what I hope comes across as a sober look at the implications of this milestone done in a Q&A format: https://t.co/VUcmPWheYU

Paper leaks showing a quantum computer doing something a supercomputer can’t. Google's system generates quantum statistics that we just can't simulate. https://t.co/miKaFBYzoG #QuantumComputing #QuantumSupremacy #Science #Tech pic.twitter.com/omkAoru0oY

That’s made the moment of quantum supremacy feel inevitable. “This is something we expected maybe sooner than later,” Dowling says.

Just as importantly, it shows that there's no obvious barrier to scaling up quantum computations. The hard part is the work needed to set a certain number of qubits in a specific state and then entangle them. https://t.co/XBjBkYv3L0

Even if true, this is still a long ways from an easy to use, reliable, general purpose quantum computer https://t.co/gGCjAykHFk
