“The reality is that none of these companies […] are actually earning any real money. The little revenue they generate mostly comes from consulting missions […] as opposed to genuinely harnessing any advantages that quantum computers have over classical computers. […] nobody has yet come close to building a quantum machine that is actually capable of solving practical problems. The current devices are so error-prone that any information […] will almost instantly degenerate into noise. […] A convincing strategy for overcoming these errors has not yet been demonstrated. […] it is unclear as to when — if ever — it will become possible to build a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer. […] It is unclear what commercially-useful problems can even be solved […] if any. […] the quantum computing industry has yet to demonstrate any practical utility, despite the fanfare […] it became progressively more tempting for scientists to oversell their results […] a highly exaggerated perspective […] reached the mainstream […] greed and misunderstanding taking hold […] at some point the claims will be found out and the funding will dry up.”
