I have seen all kind of claims, bit they seems to be in the future, like 1.000.000qbits or perfect error correction.

Do they have a real breakthrough or is it just undergoing advancments on a slow road?

    I don’t know anything about quantum computing, but recently I heard a long talk by a quantum-computing expert who were trying to convince us to work on quantum error correction.

    His (probably optimistic) estimate is that with a good amount if help, we might achieve 100 logical qbit in 5 to 10 years. Completely unpredicted breakthrough is rare in computer science; if Microsoft’s tech can actually solve quantum computing (as you discribed), it would have made much much bigger wave than this.

      Yeah that was my gut feeling too. Turns out they haven’t made any breakthroughs and it’s still in a far future if at all.
