The lack of knowledge and ignorance of quantum computing in this thread is incredible. Quantum computers do exist. They are extremely useful and do things that digital computers cannot do. Categorically cannot. The cynicism in this thread is crazy
The fact this prize exists is admitting that no one has figured out a use for quantum computers. I have heard this mentioned several times in the last decade or so : "The only thing a quantum computer definitively does better than a classical computer is simulating a quantum computer." Whether this capability is useful is up in the air. Note that in practice, classical computers are going to be better at factoring nu…
From Feynman's 1982 talk on quantum computing: "[N]ature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it's a wonderful problem, because it doesn't look so easy." 0. https://s2.smu.edu/~mitch/class/5395/papers/feynman-quantum-...
That is an absurd claim, if taken by itself. Most of nature relevant to us behaves classically. If you want to do simulations of a building or a car or an earthquake or the climate, modeling it as a quantum system would be absurd.

I’m not being snarky; I haven’t read much about quantum computing and I am genuinely interested in practical applications.
As it is, your comment just reads as “you people are a bunch of idiots, you’re all wrong and crazy, and I’ll insult you repeatedly but not offer one single corrective argument”. It would be insane for anyone to change their mind based on your comment, you’ll only get people to double down.

Okay team, when can we supercharge this?

But that is false. A classical computer can simulate a quantum computer. Performance is the difference, not inherent ability.

The cynicism stems from people telling others that practical quantum computers will change the world for at least a decade. Even the URL invokes deep cynicism in me, as it randomly combines Quantum computing with the current hot thing. When will openAI switch to quantum computing for their LLMs? Next year?
Hilarious. Even the connection between AI and Quantum computing is deeply opaque. When computers first began development during WW2, they were a response to immediate demands for particular functionality from many technical areas. Quantum computing seems to go the exact opposite route, first of building up an (admittedly very interesting) technology and then later figuring out if there actually is anything useful to…
