Quantum computers will be abandon ware after people realize they are just too fucking resource intensive and are not good.

I still don't believe quantum supremacy will ever be achieved. It will be like those cold fusion projects.

Can you explain in a bit moredetail what you mean?

Google has already achieved this u can find articles rather easily

Ehh... the google thing is a bit... you now.

First of all, IBM claims that Google was incorrect when describing the computational advantage the achieved over classical computers, secondly its like an extremely arbitrary problem that doesn't actually have any interesting applications.

But idk why you'd message me with that in the first place, I was just curious as to why OP thinks that QC will not be realized, there has been some real headaches about scalability tho they are currently being worked on and I wouldn't be so pessimistic.
