I don’t know how people claim the science is solved and “it’s just engineering” when scaling up to no trivial quantum circuits is literally the problem no one has solved and hand waving it away as an “engineering problem” seems really disingenuous. Foundational science needs to be done to solve these problems.

Classical CPUs have slowed but not stopped but more importantly quantum machines haven’t even been built yet let alone been proven possible to scale up arbitrarily. Haven’t even demonstrated they can factor 17 faster than a classical computer.
