Don’t cross the quantum and AI streams!!

On a more serious note, I’m not convinced that solving NISQ scaling with ML can overcome interconnect scaling. Interconnects are needed to make logical qubits, but introduce increased error rates.

Even with better hardware, the scaling problem remains hard. It’s like getting LLM agents thru complex agentic paths and the hard problem of decreasing error rates.

Google wants to win in Quantum so bad, they have to make up for their absolutely embarrassing lack of hindsight with AI.

Edit: Downvote all you want, OpenAI is a half trillion USD company now and quickly rising.

let me know when they build a prime radiant
Watch as quantum hype gradually replace AI hype. Like AI not all of it will be hype but there will be 80:20 ratio of hype to benefit. And the greatest benefit will be to those who trade on hype. Stating the obvious.
Atlantic Quantum has some brilliant people and I'm sure they have some great ideas.

That said, I dislike the quantum computing craziness we're in where big claims are made without proof or data.

"We have the fastest clock speeds, lowest error rates, and most scalable architecture... no data, just take our word for it."

It will be interesting to see how they do in the DARPA QBI program.
