In the sense that there are usable qubits, and single and two qubits gates that one needs in computations, it does work. Presently coherence times are too short and number of qubits too low for practically useful computations, though.

Regardless, a lot can be learned in projects like this about integrating conventional and quantum computing. One has to start somewhere.

They’ll be implementing several updates over the coming years to push towards useful computations. The engineering challenges are formidable and the road will be long and bumpy.

True, and you are probably not putting anywhere near enough salt to the water.

Any news outlet will have a bias. If nothing else, the broader culture a news organisation operates in will inherently influence their decisions.

I would say BBC is nowhere near the worst, though. Arguing they are Government controlled is just silly. You drawing a comparison to Russian media organisations is a load of tosh.

I know you are not.

“Torvalds sold out.” Would you mind elaborating what you mean by selling out in this context?
