Ibm said they vastly overstated their claims and the google comeback wasnt a strong one. Ibm said its just a few days computing power.

Yeah, you'd need massive storage and a lot of optimization tricks to get it to 2.5 days. But still

Google Quantum: 300 seconds
Super Computer: 216000 seconds

So a quantum computer is at least 720 times faster than the world's most powerful supercomputer.

We're going to new places, breh. Mars is gonna be popping. Don't be surprised if Musk starts building one too.

I made a mistake. It's not 300 seconds. It's 200 seconds. So really the Google Q is at least 1080 times faster than IBM supercomputer. Almost 3.5 minutes vs. 2.5 days. Which is still crazy.

So we're still years away from real world applications?
