My guess is that researchers have had to make ever more optimistic projections in order to maintain funding. Sometimes companies start to believe their own BS.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-37211678378328854652017-03-11T01:13:32.150-08:002017-03-11T01:13:32.150-08:00Roger,

When they sell one of their machines and it does not magically crack encryptions in fractions of the time as ordinary computers or do the 'Douglas Adams improbability drive' stunts everyone is expecting, why would anyone else buy one of their machines, and what would happen when said purchaser made it known they wanted their money back? I can't see this as being good for IBM sales.<br />.<br />This quantum computer is going to fall pretty short of expectations.CFTnoreply@blogger.com
