Quantum is unimportant to post-quantum

Very nice! I hope you folks will go far. Best of luck :)

That said, the entire field is still so far from a seriously useful QC that I still wouldn’t bet there’s a secret one somewhere in some government lab. Those are my two cents, and I may be wrong of course.

I’m not claiming there is. There might be, but I find it unlikely. When the NSA develops practical QC systems, a lot of QC research will suddenly go quiet. That hasn’t happened.

There is a viable pathway to low error rate, scalable quantum computers on a less than 10 year time horizon though.
