Google gets an error-corrected quantum bit to be stable for an hour

About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?

Maybe they can use the same techniques for keeping their product management and feature roadmap for more than an hour.

Just in time for the fall of American democracy. What could possibly go wrong.

Seeing quantum computers work will be like seeing mathemagics at work, doing it all behind the scenes. Physically (for the small ones) it looks the same, but abstractly it can perform all kinds of deep mathematics.

108 qubits, but error correction duty for some of them?

What size RSA key can it factor "instantly"?

Which hour ? If they create real quantum computer they can start identifying person that creates reality for all of us, assuming reality is broadcasted by collective mind, I doubt they can do it right now and I am sure the moment they start that person will log out from internet. Good bye then.

google can walk up the passageway of elton john for all i care!

I know a good therapist, if need be!

There's a dime stuck in the road behind our local store, tails side up, for over 15 years. And that doesn't even need error correction.

Why does it sound like technology is going backwards more and more each day?

Someone please explain to me how anything implementing error correction is even useful if it only lasts about an hour?
