No Nobel for Quantum Supremacy

Some were hoping that the Nobel Physics Prize would go to Google or IBM for proving quantum supremacy. Instead, the Swedes announced:
“This brings quantum physics from the subatomic world onto a chip”
One of the recipients led Google's quantum supremacy work, but that was conspicuously absent from the announcement.

The obvious conclusion is that the Swedes had a hot debate on awarding quantum computers, but decided against it.
