News IBM Introduces 433 Qubit "Osprey" Quantum Processing Unit

[Admin]

IBM took to its Quantum Summit 2022 to showcase its latest quantum roadmap executions. The company's new Osprey QPU (Quantum Processing Unit) more than triples the qubit count against the previous generation, while also laying the groundwork for the future of quantum modularity.

I think Sabine Hossenfelder is correct in her analysis. All this quantum hype we've seen the latter years is hype and the next step will be "quantum winter":

The problem with listening to these youtube pundits is that we lack the expertise to know if they're onto something, or just crackpots. I guess that's why science is adjudicated by experts, and not public opinion.

It'll be cool if IBM really has these systems available for the general public to use, because then you can run workloads on it that prove its quantum supremacy.

I wonder if there were such doubters, back when the microelectronics industry was beginning to embrace integrated circuits. Or maybe Analog Computing holdouts, when it was starting to be eclipsed by digital machines.
