Reply to comment by upyourego in IBM says its future is in quantum-centered supercomputing and plans to have the 4,000 qubit 'System Two' online by 2025, stitching three together for a 16,000 qubit machine soon after. It uses chip to chip communication to allow them to work in concert for more rapid scale-up. by upyourego

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.
