They should go back to the drawing board and actually get a stronger argument they really have a quantum computer. For those not following https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=6645, their quantum supremacy experiments used quite a bad metric that's very easily spoofable. https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.01657 Quantum computer is the perpetual motion machine of the 21st century. I'm sure we'll never get there, but getting an insight like the second law of thermodynamics of why it's impossible will be important too. And I don't buy the attitude of "the errors will be bad", that's like "there is always…
