While I think there's been a lot of exciting progress toward building large-scale quantum computers, one thing that's super important to realize is that we've not yet seen a quantum experiment that both solves a problem that's provably hard and also is independently useful for society.

It's not a failure.

Actually, these claims, it's not clear at all that they're not correct when they come out.

We thought we were working on sort of science fiction experiments.

We didn't think that this would ever come close to fruition.
