IMHO, we're still a long way from anything truly useful. The problem Google used to demonstrate quantum supremacy feels more like a glorified random number generator. Even if quantum computers can generate results faster, processing and storing the data still takes a lot of time. It’s hard not to draw a parallel with claims about "instantaneous quantum communication," where entangled particles appear to defy the speed of light — it seems impressive at first, but the practical value remains unclear.

Isn't instant communication impossible, even with entanglement?

I'ts not communication it's coordination of 2 (or more) entangled particles.
