QUANTUM STRATEGY AT GOOGLE
This is a summary of Google's plans for quantum computing over the next twenty years —The Grand Challenge of Quantum Applications , published at arxiv.org . Strategy at Google Quantum AI. To verify any quantum computer, one can run the straightforward code I developed. 1) Place a qubit, a single quantum gate, or the whole quantum computer in an initial state of your choice. It could be anything. 2) Using any approach, determine that state. Save data on a laptop. 3) Repeat s

MORE ON QUANTUM COMPUTING
From Interesting Engineering: " Quantum Breakthrough: World's First 10000-qubit processor achieves 100x scaling leap ." #QuantumComputing Reality or hype? A brief additional info: IBM did not produce much in the last 40+ years. It developed Python software that connects to their quantum computers; I believe it's called PissKit. Superconducting qubits are well known to be dead. However, this message did not reach IBM, Intel, QuTech, or any other location in Australia or elsewh

ANOTHER QUANTUM COMPUTER ADVANTAGE FROM GOOGLE?
No, not again. Google is claiming another advantage of its 105-qubit quantum computer, Willow . There is a straightforward test to determine whether a quantum computer is functional. People at Google can run it; it's an almost trivial algorithm. 1) X=0, initialize a qubit, gate, or the whole quantum computer to whatever state you like. Hero, zero means an initial state. 2) Determine X, figure out what that state is. 3) Repeat steps 1) and 2) a large number of times, say 1000-
