IBM Quantum Nighthawk R2

These machines do not provide any computational speedup, we have plenty of papers coming from academic physicists clearly showing this. Why these people insist with their narrative is beyond my comprehension at this stage (maybe, artificially increase the value of their market shares?)..

P.S. I was involved in semiconductor physics and quantum computing way before it became a buzz word.

I don’t understand who the target audience of these ads is. For most people, including myself, this is like seeing an ad for “New and Improved Time Machine! (Untested)” or “Magic Beans - Indica”.

What's the largest semiprime it can factor?

Tangential question: do quantum researchers benefit from LLMs in any way?
