You have a point regarding the lonely & pathetic perhaps, and of keeping the list, on beam, with questions focused on physics and mathematics. However, as Leon Trotsky quipped, "You may not be interested in war, but War is interested in you!" Thus, the real world interfered with the lives of

Re: D-Wave's 5000 qubit computer

How do you rate this D-Wave claim as it's know that entanglements yield no successful operations? The company produces entanglements, but little 1/0's. I hold that when IBM or Honeywell claims 48 qubits per sec, it is not an empty claim? Maybe I am wrong, but DWave's qubits are empty operations

John Horgan is a bit into nonsense. He is, as I remember, the end of science guy who said science was coming to an end. He has made other pronouncements. LC On Thursday, October 1, 2020 at 4:19:47 AM UTC-5 cloud...@gmail.com wrote: > (The Turing Machine processes information. The Buddha
