Main caveat is that it’s verifiable (by them) but repeatable by others (in principle).




So actually it’s neither verifiable or repeatable in any real-works definition of the words.

This is your second comment in this thread (as far as I’ve scrolled) saying this without an explanation. Could you elaborate on why?

Quantum computing is mostly a scheme to get more grants/funding for quantum research, it doesn’t have any real world application and most likely won’t have any in the foreseeable future. Like verifiable means i can run 3x3 on any quantum computer and always get 9 as result - but quantum computers cant even do that. Don’t get me wrong; it’s very cool theoretical research, and more power to the scientist. But thinking it will have any impact on the real world in our lifetime is a pipe dream imho
