Quantum computing as a field is obvious bullshit

Gutmann is critiquing the fact that quantum computers don’t exist. They are as real as heffalumps.

Since quantum computers are mythical heffalumps and don’t exist, this is all a bunch of fantasy twaddle and has zero scientific merit. Whether or not his peers disagree with him is a matter of religious faith.

Talking about quantum computers is no different than discussing heffalumps and woozles.

The fundamental theory behind quantum computation is nonsense. There is no such thing as a “simultaneous multi-state” particle. It’s nonsense. I don’t need to debunk it. The priests promoting it need to prove it, which they can’t do, because their claims are pure bunk.

“Quantum” is just a marketing term. Fables and fairy tales can be fun and enjoyable, but when people are making technical decisions based on fables and fairy tales, then being toxic toward critics, we have a potentially violent and dangerous religious fantaticism, not a science.

It was heartening to see someone with bona fides crack a smile instead of the perfunctory, furrowed-brow doom and gloom I see hanging over the Puzzle Palace upon Mount Gawks.
