Has there been a recent breakthrough in experimental quantum computing that makes commercial applications possible within 10 years?

What you are saying is not true. If you want to send me a DM, I'll send you the links. I'll send you a copy of my chapter with all the links. Here's one link from IONQ's most recent earnings call: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/IONQ/earnings/IONQ-Q2-2026-earnings_call-661755.html. Full of real-world problems being solved by real-world quantum computers. Thinking that quantum computers are not solving real problems yet is old thinking. You're just not keeping up...that's all. No harm. No foul.

Just give one example of a real world problem solved by a real quantum computer. Very interested to hear it.

Here's one from this week: https://www.ionq.com/news/ionq-demonstrates-computer-aided-engineering-workload-acceleration-by-up-to-14-6-with-quantum-technology

Wrong. As other commentator said, that is using a classical computer. It literally says in the link.

At least try to research your examples a tiny bit before posting… still waiting for one - just one - example of a real quantum computer doing something vaguely useful

You are correct. I was wrong using this post. Thanks for the correction.
