So I've seen this come up in government, in new headlines, and in relation to AI, but I don't understand the links, and I don't understand if it's a new hype wave or if something substantive has changed. What's the situation?
Partly hype. But it looks like some advances have been made (see also: a couple places announcing quantum chips). It still doesn’t seem to be at a stage where it’s remotely usable for anything, though.
Maybe folks will combine logic circuit generators from AI to quantum simulators, and that will enable future hardware prototypes.<p>One way to "think" versus another, whether it's identifying cats or securing a quantum wallet.
