IBM quantum advantage announcement - thoughts?

Haven't read the actual papers yet, just the blog. If anyone's gone deeper, would love thoughts. Just trying to figure out if this is a real inflection point or dressed up PR bc their core business performance is weaker than expected... This whole argument is sitting on top of the noise model being right, yes? Does anyone here do error mitigation professionally? Does that reasoning actually hold or is this just one narrow regime that will fail if use cases are expanded? Post-selection feels tricky. 10x less error on the 70-qubit spacetime run is great, but if you're throwing out most of your shots to get there.. And is "trusted advantage" a real higher bar or just a branding effort? Good timing re: classical-sim crowd and the old RCS claims. submitted by /u/Heavy_on_the_TZ [link] [comments]
