I'm not really qualified to speak on quantum computing. So happy to be shown differently...
But the entire field feels sorta scammy. For instance, they never demonstrate practical problems being solved, but instead they invent specific calculation "benchmarks" and then demonstrate how fast their quantum chip is at solving that.
In this case they are bragging about this chip solved "RCS" 10^25 times faster then classical computing. But when you read more about "RCS" you find that it was a calculation developed by the quantum research team, specifically for testing their chip.
It all comes across like they are just farming for PR to get quick stock price bumps.
