You once stated in this mailing list, that you thought the human world will 
change, if and when we hit 100 successful qubit operations. Does your 
conjecture on this still hold, or have you modified or discarded this? Solving 
huge problems as you highlighted below?

Subject: Quantum Supremacy

Today Google officially published in the journal Nature it's article claiming 
their 53 Qubit Quantum Computer (it was actually 54 Qubit but one Qubit didn't 
work) could solve a problem in 3 minutes and 20 seconds that it would take 
Summit, the world's largest supercomputer, 10,000 years to solve: 
Quantum supremacy

Very recently IBM, another company working on Quantum Computers, has disputed 
Google's claim:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.09534.pdf

IBM says they have found a classical algorithm that if running on the largest 
classical supercomputer in the world could do what Google's Machine did in 2.55 
days, and if all 54 Qubits had been working duplicated it in 5.80 days; that's 
still a lot longer than 3 minutes and 20 seconds but it's not 10,000 years. It 
should be noted that unlike Google IBM has not actually performed the 
calculation to prove what they say is true.
