Magic state distillation, meanwhile, is a filtering process by which the highest quality magic states are “purified”
Yeah, okay
It does read like something Carl Segan might have said after smoking Gandalf’s magic pipe weed.
They are using a new language called Gandalf ++

I believe it when I see a quantum computer solving a real-world problem, and not just random quantum benchmarks.
Wait, is that sci-fi or fantasy?
It actually seems legit! How well this will scale to production and actual use is unclear though
I’m definitely gonna need a translation of this into something comprehensible to those of us that only understand classical computing. I get the evolution of binary and logic gates from mechanical computing, to vacuum tubes, to semiconductors, to nanometer miniaturized transistors. I understand (but could not possibly write) how machine language has increasing layers of complexity and eventually becomes human interpretable instructions. I understand shared cache and multiple cores and how that formed a generational leap over clock speed.
I have no idea what the fuck this article is talking about. At all.
