Interesting remarks this morning at #Q2B20 by @ericschmidt. A few takeaways.

Eric thinks that scaling from NISQ technology to fault-tolerant quantum computing is "largely an industrial problem" to be solved in 10 years according to "most people I talk to."

I don't agree.
We should be acting now to transition from RSA to quantum-resistant public key cryptography.

I agree.
Research and development spending in the US is far too low. "We have gotten lazy ... how is that okay?"

That's right.
This part was the most interesting to me:

Eric thinks quantum computing will spark a "software explosion" just as integrated circuits did, and he suggests that a new generation of powerful companies will arise as a result. Note: for classical computing "it took 40 years."
