I want to make a joke about this resulting in the universe blues greening because it's Microsoft...

But honestly this is fascinating

I know you meant "bluescreening" instead of blues greening, but I like the idea of an universe becoming the blue/green of the windows XP wallpaper

damn autocorrect! Gonna leave it though because it is amusing

Low on details, but if they are right this will change things. To have a scalable reliable quantum hardware puts a lot of things within reach. Breaking some encryption is a given, but what happens when this is used for AI or new encryption or if we get quantum algorithms for NP problems? Any of that changes things, potentially changes them a lot.

Low on details

Did you see the paper? More details than I know what to do with, or can understand without a lot of googling, lol.
