> I can't believe so many people use this to "prove" that it's not a quantum computer. This is a complete and utter non sequitur. That's not why I'm saying it's probably not a quantum computer. It's not a quantum computer because in depth analysis of its behavior has consistently shown that above the ~20 qubit scale it's better modeled by a classical explanation than a quantum one. We only really have evidence of entanglement at the 8 qubit level[1] so far. The fact that the processing power is abysmal just makes the hype even more ridiculous. The point of that fact is that it's not like the…
