What are useful metaphors in the application or use of quantum computers?

>It's the sort of fundamental research which private industry tends to under-produce because it's hard for any given company to recoup the full value of the R&D, but the target area is something with potential downstream practical implications. Quantum computing ? I've seen just a few months ago some article about a single start-up raising >200M ?
There is a difference between doing fundamental research and bringing a product to market. We know enough about quantum computers to be able to build some of them in limited ways which are commercially useful in very specific domains, so then companies can get investment to do that. But we still don't really understand all of the fundamentals, and it's always hard to raise investment for fundamental research. Suppose…
I am looking forward to the outrageous lies about this soon. Trump will have "saved the tech industry" or "invented quantum computing" and we'll hear stories about how amazed all the researchers are at how well he understands it since she's such a genius. I'll put money on it.
This appears to be a surprisingly level-headed government initiative. The amount is enough to do something but not so much as to be a colossal boondoggle. It's the sort of fundamental research which private industry tends to under-produce because it's hard for any given company to recoup the full value of the R&D, but the target area is something with potential downstream practical implications. > bipartisan Also by…

> We know enough about quantum computers to be able to build some of them in limited ways which are commercially useful in very specific domains In which way are quantum computers commercially useful?
VC Bait seems like a natural fit. Just say you are making a quantum computer that predicts global warming trends using blockchain. Might want to buy a wheel barrel for all your money you’ll be leaving that meeting with.
This administration is anti-science in every way possible way - from the climate to covid to education and more. $75M is literally a rounding error when it comes to the federal budget. This is pure election year nonsense - basically it's a $75 million marketing ploy (using tax dollars) to beef up the administration's pitiful record on science. I am looking forward to the outrageous lies about this soon. Trump will ha…

so close to admitting trump has done something decent!

Is this coming from him directly? I would be really surprised, he has plenty of advisors for that. What comes out of him directly is more visible on ie twitter, different story
