You can't just casually assume we'll suddenly figure out how to run qubits at room temperature in 13 years.

For clarification for other readers, the authors of the paper here do not make any claim towards that. They assume a setup where

> the complete structure is maintained at cryogenic temperatures (∼1 K or less) inside an electron spin resonance (ESR) system, which will be used to apply qubit control pulses.

The authors don’t, but the previous post (apparently) implicitly assumes it (or fails to understand what maintaining quantum coherence entails, or both).

Uh finally! Thanks for explicating this so succinctly and adroitly. I'm driven spare by the “quantum computers everywhere [because] Moore's Law bla bla bla” attitude.
