#2So we're not yet at a point where we can show that a quantum computer can do anything at all faster than a classical computer - and this guy already plans his datacenter for the upcoming quantum AWS.
I'd say he's confusing step 20 with step 2 or something...

#3Anyone have tips for getting up on the waitlist? I wonder if they are prioritizing researchers.

We already know that a capable quantum computer can do a lot of things faster than a classical computer and it's undoubtedly going to happen within the next couple decades if not sooner. I think he's just planning ahead and riding the bleeding edge technology.
Edit: Thanks everyone for pointing out a flaw in my opinion. For anyone actually interested in delving into the discussion of whether or not quantum computing is faster than classical computing https://cstheory.stackexchange.com/questions/24943/is-there-...

If you build it, they will come. More seriously, once it becomes obvious how it will be used, they will no longer be ahead. A good counterpoint though is what if they build it based on current designs which require some radically different setup than the future designs that will be worth it.

That's actually incorrect. Many people believe a quantum computer may be more powerful than a classical computer, but that is definitely not proven and plenty of people also believe that may not be true.

the other possibility is that they do know something that isn't widely known about quantum computing.

Yep. Sounds like their cloud is literally made of vapour.

Normally I'd agree with you, but some of the breakthroughs in this space over the last 18 month make it clear that it's not an "if," but a "when." They're positioning to be right there when the moment happens.
