You can tell that someone is lying about their work in quantum physics when they claim to understand quantum physics.
Of course. Not a single quantum computer has done anything but test programs and quantum-specific benchmarks. Until a quantum computer finally does something a normal computer regularly does, but faster, we should simply ignore this area.
EDIT: could the downvoters state a single occasion where a quantum computer outmatched a normal computer on a real problem. And with that I mean something more elaborate than winning naughts and crosses, or something like that.
until it's better we should simply ignore this
That seems like a strange comment to make. How will it get better if we don't spend the time and effort to make it better?
With quantum computing if you ignore it you are simultaneously not ignoring it?
I don't think so, but yes.
The idea is not to have three worthless announcements per week. They can get better all they want, and come back once they have tangible results.
