Two five qubit device architectures are compared in this article.

Supposedly ~17 qubit devices are on the way. None has demonstrated quantum supremacy, practical or not.

That's exactly what I mean. I haven't seen any evidence of quantum computing being demonstrated. All I know is it's hypothetically possible. I'm not sure what people were downvoting when I said this, I'm just stating a fact. It's not like I wished it wouldn't happen or something.
