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.

I don't agree.
We should be acting now to transition from RSA to quantum-resistant public key cryptography.
I agree.
I agree.
Research and development spending in the US is far too low. "We have gotten lazy ... how is that okay?"
That's right.
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."
