So, Google's using 49 qubits, comprised of ions, within a chip. On the day of their presentation an international team of Russian and Americans say they have a 51 qubit computer, comprised of atoms trapped in "laser cells".

How the hell do "laser cells" even scale up? These machines already require super low temps to operate. At what scale does the law of diminishing returns kick in, where there's more power needed to keep the "cold atoms" in place vs actually computing?

It kicked in almost instantly. The computations take almost no power in the first place. Almost everything is spent on cooling.

I claim it bullshit. Russians lead nothing for quite a while. Not even publishing sensationalist headlines like these, as North Korea does it better.

You mean cannon fodder for playing world police and the modern sport/artistry of professional athletics?

We can still buy them with the H1-B. What we need is less abuse of such legislation to pinch pennies to make off dime of the working class. Kaku said give them a raise and he was right for more than one reason.

Nuture means more. Geniuses are raised not born. The guy who discovered the Majorna in the lab, yeah he is black.

Newer versions run only on vodka, because the system is becoming more intelligent.
