In quantum computing, “one experimental milestone after another that people talked about since the 90s is finally being achieved … If hardware progress continues at the rate we’ve seen for the past year or two, then I find it hard to understand why we won’t have useful fault-tolerant QCs within the next decade.” (Emphasis on the “if” though)

wow, that's wild! can't believe we're getting so close to making sci-fi stuff real. fingers crossed for more breakthroughs! 🚀🔬
