All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

There might be some- A million.

A million.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

A million is a good round number for it.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

Maybe a little bit more.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

And right now we're at, you know, a hundred or, you know, a little bit more than that.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

So we have a ways to go.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

So I can talk about my own field.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

But when I have read the papers that duplicated what we did at Google,

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

on the quantum supremacy experiment, you know, they know what they're doing.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

I mean, they go through the theory, they talk about a lot of it is very similar to what we're doing, but they know what they're doing and they're getting great results.

And the thing that scares me a little bit is, you know, last December, the Google group published the latest results, which is really much nicer.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

They made some real improvement.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

But then China soon afterward published something

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

kind of indicating they were, you know, on par or near par or something to it.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

And, you know, I'm worried that the Chinese government is saying, well, you can't publish anything until it's in the Western press.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg

And then you can, you know, then it's open and you can talk about it.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

Yeah.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

So, you know, I'm a little bit concerned about that.

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

Now, what we're doing with our company is,

All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
Nobel Prize in Physics Winner: John Martinis on the State of Quantum

is we're doing a new generation of fabrication of the devices.
