Major quantum systems from Amazon, Microsoft, and IQM show error rates approaching 10^-4, accelerating the timeline by several months. That is some scary fast progress 🤓 <br/><br/>Tech leaders are revising quantum timelines dramatically: <br/>🕛 Gates: &#34;useful in 3-5 years.&#34; <br/>🕧 Pichai: &#34;practical applications in 5-10 years.&#34; <br/>🕐 Krishna: &#34;remarkable progress by decade&#39;s end.&#34; <br/>🚨 The threat to cryptographic foundations is imminent. 🚨 <br/><br/>Major breakthroughs are accelerating development: Amazon&#39;s Ocelot, Microsoft&#39;s Majorana 1, and massive funding ($400M+) flowing into quantum computing.
