I work in Google as well, and I simply don't check my personal Gmail from work machines. They can monitor my work laptop as much as they want.

This is coming from a firefox-using privacy paranoid Googler.

I have no idea what this guy is talking about.

It's not just superconductivity that you need. You also need to reduce thermal noise to maintain coherence between qubits. mill-Kelvin is the typical temperature range D-Wave computers go to [1], for instance.

In fact, when you see large mainframe-like pictures of quantum computers, the big box mostly contains cooling equipment. The actual circuitry is pretty small.
