4,000 x 3 = 16,000.

That must be quantum math I don't understand.

Sorry - should have clarified it is a goal of a 4,000+ quantum computer from 2025 with the aim that three together will be 16,000 qubits.

Heh. I was thinking if they cant do that math, I'm kinda skeptical about their quantum computing.

Quantum computers don't do math like you or I know, they do "fuzzy" math. It is based on probabilities, and it will usually choose the desired outcome. For example, if you or I add three with four, we will get seven. But if a quantum computer adds three with four, it will usually get about seven, sometimes eight, sometimes six.
