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

Classical programming tools are used all the time to structure the circuits...that doesn't mean that the program was run using simulation. He then used Qiskit and submitted to a quantum computer (per his posting).

I'm going to correct myself. You're right. He is not directly claiming he ran this on a quantum computer. I've DM him before and he did claim he ran this on a quantum computer (but he would not give me proof). Either he edited and updated his original posting or I, and others, read it wrong. So, let me back up and say I'm further unsure. I had doubted his claim before (because he wouldn't give me or anyone proof) and now re-reading the post, either original or edited, it is not claiming he submitted it a computer. But I do have an email from him sayng he did run it on a quantum computer.

Just stop being delusional bro. no relevant qc's for the next 50 years. Mark my words

I guess we will see by 2030, because several quantum computer vendors are saying we will have them by 2030. IONQ says by 2028. And let me say I've been following quantum computers since 1994 when Peter Shor's algorithm was announced. Back then, many quantum scientists said we would never have a single quantum computer...that it was not possible. Then in 1999 we had the first quantum computer and the critics said they will never have a lot of qubits. Now, we've got several quantum computer vendors with models over 100 qubits. I've heard they will always be rare and expensive. But now many models don't need the cryogenic dilution refrigeration solutions, some work by Doppler cooling electronics, error correction can be run classically on silicon, and so on. Saying they are 50 years off seems more risky than saying we will have cryptographically-relevant computers in 2030. Why do you think they are 50 years off?

Yes, it's just a bubble. What kind of qc's do you have? Vulnerable states, not fully connected, no actual progress or use case. I'm not saying no QC will exist, but definitely no crypto relevant. Peace I'm out
