A startup claims to have achieved a 1,180 qubits quantum computer (based on nuclear spin tech), allegedly with long (40s!) coherence and the ability to run quantum algorithms. I wonder if anybody tested it independently. https://atom-computing.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Atom-Computing-Atomic-Arrays.pdf
@LukaszOlejnik I feel like white papers like this should be accompanied by the factorization of some well known challenge numbers. Or at least with the secret key to break DUAL_EC_DRBG, more than 1000 qbits that don't decohere for a minute should be enough for that, right?
What also matters is the speed at which they can perform operations on those qubits, and which pairs of them can be made to interact (there are some setups where only adjacent ones can, for some graph -- IIRC most/all trapped ion setups were like that some time ago).
