Quantum Computing: myths and reality
summary
Shows a working quantum supremacy demo that prepares a superposition over all inputs and queries an oracle function so one quantum circuit samples a hard distribution faster than the best classical solver for that specific task. Reports the device is ~50 qubits scale, runs at millikelvin temperatures with specialized cryogenic control and limited qubit connectivity, has high gate error rates, and the speedup is task‑specific and not yet useful for factoring or breaking crypto without full error correction.
