- > IBM anticipates that the first cases of verified quantum advantage will be confirmed by the wider community by the end of 2026.
In 2019, Google claimed quantum supremacy [1]. I'm truly confused about what quantum computing can do today, or what it's likely to be able to do in the next decade.

- I happen to know IBM made some great hires -- one of my classmates who was excellent in the field, who had impressive quantum computing nature publications before graduation, worked at IBM for the past several years.
Though it looks like he recently switched to working at Google AI...

- I've been bit by the mass marketing nonsense of "Watson" but IBM Research does some pretty good work, and their progress on Quantum Computing seems to be "real"; and certainly more reliable than Microsoft (shocked!).
- Sooo... are we factoring 21 without shortcuts yet?

"This tutorial covers advanced techniques for implementing the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) at the utility scale using Qiskit. In this video, we walk through how to build, optimize, and run QAOA for real world optimization problems on real IBM Quantum hardware.
This series is designed for quantum computing practitioners who are ready to move beyond basic examples and start running large scale, hardware aware algorithms. We explore how to transition from theory to practical execution, covering algorithm development, circuit optimization, hybrid workflows, and best practices for hardware performance. Whether you are expanding your QAOA skills or preparing to run your own research experiments, this tutorial will help you strengthen your understanding of utility scale quantum computing with Qiskit."

- How come IBM is still alive? Is it those sweet-sweet legacy cobol/mainframe systems?
I wonder what would happen to them if codex or what have helps migrate that to c#.
= how long until the exodus to aws/azure will follow

- "Qiskit capabilities show 24 percent increase in accuracy"
what was it before? What good is a computer that is not 100% accurate? Do I have to run a function 1000x to get some average 99% chance the output is correct?
