RE: Google sticks by claims of achieving quantum supremacy

It is interesting to see Quantum computer starting to become a reality, although I do not understand any of it. One day they might change the computing world and I look forward to that. I can remember going from punched cards, to paper tape, to terminals in the space of only three years - that was a quantum change for me. My next big quantum jump in computing was seeing TurboC compile for the first time. After spending 30 minutes compiling, linking, download then debugging after each edit and doing this for two years while studying, the millisecond compile time of TurboC was unbelievable. I've never properly recovered from that experience.

To understand why IBM makes the claim, see this What is a Quantum Computer in Layman Terms. You can even try out their 5-bit quantum computer for yourself...
