LOL. If you try to LARP, at least make an effort to sound like you know something about what you LARPing.
Yes, I've studied physics and the OP quoted above clearly didn't.
Thanks for the Friday night laughs.
You might be interested in this.

No opinion (yet), haven't read. Thanks for the link.
They put scientists underground for a decade looking for dark matter, and all they ended up seeing was an atom of noble gas decay.
It's not just quantum mechanics that they're faking. EVERYONE needs grant money, and most the checks are signed by people who don't know science. It's mo$tly far$e at this point.
There are two completely different things mixed.
Equations of quantum mechanics works perfectly. You could easily check it just by turning on laser pointer and do some reserch on how it works and why. Of course, quantum theory is not complete, since it interfere with dormas of relativity, so, to keep that shitty relativity theory, quantum mechanics is somewhat suspended by grant dispatching entities.
Things that named "quantum computers" have nearly nothing to do with computing. Some devices they name "quantum computers" exists, but they barely useful. See that conversation for further info - https://conspiracies.win/p/140InHzSkO/x/c/4JINTpubqm9
So, "quantum computers" are bullshit, yes, but that does not make quantum mechanics obsolete.
Funny but Quantum mechanics and the standard model is considered the most successful physical theory of all time. Without it we would have no solid state electronic devices.
Einstein hated it, and his theory of general relativity has already been falsified on large scales. Hence dark matter, dark energy, expansion etc. This person has it exactly wrong.
I've not looked into it, but I am inclined to agree since I know particle physics is very similarly bullshit.

Actually, I found it on 4chan/x/ but I searched for the original source, and this on /sci/ is the earliest i could find (from 2020)
Yeah, lots of bunk in particle physics.
But at least SOME of the standard model can be applied in actual practice, with easily proven applications that are repeatable and within calculations. But at Higg's level it's all just chasing shadows in statistical models.
Basic quantum physics (theory) phenomena are repeatable, applicable and have been used practical implementations all around the world for decades.
Is it the final accurate model of such interactions? Nope, most likely not.
Is it good enough for the parts that it models in predictable manner? Yup.
Do some people think the (QM) model IS the reality? Yes, and they are mistaken.
Read through "Hoaxfag" s replies there to get more about his point of view. I guess he was the OP, I don't know why he posted the text as an image though. Anyway, he expounds more in the replies.
I love how he doesn't really say anything specific just some vague bullshit about how its fake. Like I'm all for stuff being fake and lies, I'm a flat earther myself, but you actually have to prove your point, not just call it names.
This gets into Quantum Physics quite a bit.

Uh no.

They've been in business for many years, and have quantum computers. They're functional, you can use them via API right now. They're used to compute complex algorithms. Most of Big Tech algorithms are now written by quantum computers.
Google has quantum computers, IBM has them, and so does pretty much everyone else. They've been used in consumer facing products for at least 5-6 years now.
Quantum mechanics, and quantum computing are also two very different things. One is theoretical, the other is a practical application of said theory in actual technology.
There's definitely some quantum fuckery, as in they're opening the door to some kind of AI overlord, and yes there's weird religious shit... but the technology is very fucking real and already happening.
This just makes me less confident that everything is as they say it is.
I mean the power of AI is horrifying, don't get me wrong. All of this censorship and surveillance tech is happening because of advances in AI.
The tech these companies have right now is crazy. It's just gaining more and more power every year. But to argue quantum computers don't exist? That's just silly.
I looked into it a bit deeper after reading some of the articles linked above. AWS offers three different brands of quantum computers as instances you can rent. Two of them are 2-qubit systems max. The D-wave systems claim to be "5000+ qubit", but that's nonsense or marketing half-truths. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure.
These are offered to "scientists", I don't think there's very much real world application for them at this point. If they're using quantum computing in ML, it's only to do some of the linear regression math, and probably isn't all that interesting compared to the massive tensorcore farms that they're using for production ML.
D-wave achieves 5000+ qubits by networking a bunch of quantum computers together into an aggregated cloud platform. It is marketing speak, but its also true at the same time. You are able to leverage that total aggregate quantum processing power.
Quantum computing is good a specific data aggregation and predictive analysis tasks. It's best utilized when using a traditional computing system with it, so you get the best of both worlds. Basically hybrid processing, you let traditional processors do what quantum does poorly, and let quantum processors do what traditional processors can't. That's what D-Wave's market is focused on.
A good example, is Google used quantum computers to design algorithms for eye detection with Google Glass. Quantum computers have some really interesting use-cases when analyzing massive amounts of data. But ultimately the software to do much more with them literally doesn't exist yet. We're barely scratching the surface of what quantum computing is capable of, and again the more logical systems are going to be hybrid systems in the future that leverage both quantum processing and traditional processors in the same IO.
My gut says that the "5000+ qubit" systems are probably more like dressed up neural network optimized silicon with fancy expensive cryogenics systems for an air of legitimacy.
