This video, talking about the Chinese quantum computer, I think is decent, but I think he is wrong about a couple of things.
I think the system demonstrated is far more advanced that anyone expected.
What needs to be done, is to improve the engineering, to make the shooting of photons more precise, which is quite amazing as it is.
The other project to do, is to reconfigure the operation of the system. What you want is this system is to do a simple loop, nest those loops, and now you got a brute force attack against passwords. The experiment they did in China, the instruction set of the system for the Boson sampling seems a lot more complicated than the instruction set for a loop.
Another couple of points I found fascinating, as speaking as a non-technical person, is the material science that was used. That probably stuff all is a state secret.
The other point worth mentioning is on the lab itself, we got to see its setup. Imagine that, we got to see the layout of the system, and there was no reason to show anybody anything.
I heard that this thing is scalable, that means if they improve the measuring techniques and splitting of photon, this system needs that to turn operational to crack passwords. I really do not believe that is too far away. If you do not know what this means, just look up quantum computer cracking passwords.
