> But others, including my good friend Gil Kalai, are on record, right here on this blog predicting that even quantum supremacy can never be achieved for fundamental reasons. I won’t let them wiggle out of it now. Here is Gil Kalai's post from yesterday: "Quantum computers: amazing progress (Google & IBM), and extraordinary but probably false supremacy claims (Google)." https://gilkalai.wordpress.com/2019/09/23/quantum-computers-... |

> Scott is correct that inability to achieve quantum supremacy is quite central to my argument (since 2014), so naturally I don’t expect that the recent claims by the Google team will stand. Of course, if these claims (or any other quantum supremacy claim) are correct then this would defeat my theory. It goes without saying that the claims are so fantastic that also responsible believers in quantum computers should examine these specific claims (like an alleged NP=! P proof) carefully and skeptically. Also, it would be nice to hear some details about the precise claims and methodology of the Google team.
