An article from 2018, pretty much every key assertion in which has been proven wrong by experiment in 2024 and 2025. Like it or not, things are progressing. Example from the article: "it’s sobering that no one has yet figured out how to combine many physical qubits into a smaller number of logical qubits that can compute something useful" Earlier this month a team at Harvard successfully created 96 logical qubits from 280 physical atoms and ran quantum computation (fault tolerant algo) on all of those. The error rate actually decreased with scale, which was a first. Much more has happened in the past year that the author of the article had put in the "impossible" bucket in 2018. Guess what, times change, breakthroughs happen, tech improves. Whoever the author is, they could not submit that article anywhere now and be taken seriously.
