Thanks for this perspective. I've always thought the whole "yay! let's do quantum programming!" was a bit strange. IIRC we can't really do "real" quantum computation with anything more than a few bits because people can't do QEC to correct for the noise. D-Wave's systems aren't even "real" QCs AFAIK.

From a very amateur perspective, it looked like Gil Kalai was arguing that physical realizations would not be impossible, but work at UIST and Google's "quantum supremacy" result, somehow have proved him wrong ?

Can you say a bit more on the state of QEC ? Thanks.

P.S: The hype of CS these days is really getting tiring; the ridiculuous expectations around "quantum-deeplearning-crypto-neuron-RL" will hopefully not cause another AI winter.
