the whole "industry" is a fabrication.

you use pseudoscientific aesthetics to steal money from taxpayers and the stock market. Non of this will ever produce real economic value.

> That doesn't mean their work was worthless but like everything, things progress.

what an obscene claim. Some things are not progress they are just fraud. You are peddling modern day alchemy. That "one day" it would affect the price of gold never came.

Your stuff is ivory tower theoretical research. You shouldn't be allowed to stand here and make "predictions" that one day you will make gold from lead.

in the next few years people like you will not be allowed to make your fraudulent claims without pushback. Credibility for this "industry" is only going down as you are unable to deliver.

Quantum and Photonic computing functionally works. You can go to many labs and see it in action producing results. As I stated in my original post I think it's a decade plus to get to where it states but that doesn't mean everything is fraud. Because you can't recoqnise that it is functioning and showing progress that doesn't mean it isn't.

Your skepticism is valid to some extent with some implementations but your background knowledge doesn't support your theory and clearly hasn't seen the results first hand (which is understandable of course unless you work in research in that field).

I am very curious why your point of view is expressed in this manner. It feels as if you were in a field that is now recieving less funding due to QC and PC.

It feels as if you are collating all work with any mention of quantum as one which it isn't. Also it feels as if you are assuming quantum computing is exclusively focused on brute force algorithm cryptography cracking which again it isn't. Quantum computing is exclusively any form of computing that utilizes quantum theory to manipulate data. That's not automatically "better" just more effective for certain circumstances.

There are already real world examples of quantum computing methods utilising photons that can perform security jobs that classical computing simply couldn't do especially in relation to photon pairs.

Not snake oil, just engineering and physics.

no it doesnt. recent ibm "quantum computer was replaced with random number generator and ran faster. It is just random noise that gets "error corrected" by real normal computers.

"Not snake oil, just engineering and physics." take your scam somewhere else ai bot.

you are a scammer and you should be ashamed of yourself. Stop perpetuating your lies, your credibility will be gone soon. better to stay far away from this fraudulent field

Firstly I would say I agree with you that there most certainly are major companies that enhance their results. I would be curious to read the paper or proof of the IBM quantum computer issues.

However the readout is always done by a classical computer at the moment. We aren't at the stage where we have an integrated system that can use photonic chip say from start to finish. That's not a sign it's fraudulent, that's just the stage we are at.

Secondly, there are fraudulent claims in every area of research or enhanced claims, that doesn't mean none of the science is valid.

What's your background here?

"What's your background here?" you want to play status games to advance your fraudulent "industry"?

the audacity.

The stage we are at and that we will never leave is that quantum "computers" are just sources of very expensive random noise.

there is no credible path towards leaving this stage.

The only response to that is an appeal to "authority". It is becoming more and more apparent that only low quality "show man" type people are left in this clown "industry". Trumps endorsement with the white house push for "quantum" might be the last nail in the coffin.

There is no money coming into this field without practically useful results and there wont be any.

A few billion through penny stock scams a few billion through government grant graft. What a sad little show. Only stupid people and conman types will join this "field"

Someone needs a hug.

I was just curious your background to be able to understand the situation from your point of view but you haven't made that easy. There are already military use cases for it in development and existence which is where a lot of the money will continue to come from. It's not an area I personally feel comfortable in but it's there and real.

I'll stop responding now as I was genuinely curious to hear your reasoning and see your sources but you seem unwilling to share either so it is quite hard to have open communication.
