Quantum Computing Demystified
summary
Quick tour of what works and what is hype: small quantum machines exist and are cloud‑accessible so you can run a Hello World on a quantum computer, IBM exposes a circuit composer and Qiskit while Google publishes OpenFermion and claims a 72‑qubit Bristlecone for imminent quantum supremacy tests. Labs have factored 143 with 4 qubits and firms like D‑Wave and Volkswagen run niche optimizations and radiation‑therapy experiments, but decoherence and error correction mean thousands of physical qubits per logical qubit are still required.
