128PiB of disk space needed for a 54-qubit computation on their system (hard drives). Fun to see where the supercomputers are still needed, but smaller qubits can be emulated on normal computers. 40 qubit calculations probably can be emulated on a 16TB team of hard drives in RAID0.
The IBM 53-bit quantum compute result from a ton of hard drives + compute power was also intriguing (https://www.ibm.com/blogs/research/2019/10/on-quantum-suprem...).
