From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Lobsters, shortened. Read the full thread on Lobsters.
> The paper acknowledges a gap of more than 100 million times between the assumed reliability and the experimental results it uses for comparison. For reference, assuming qubit reliability improves at the same rate as transistor density did under Moore's Law, it will take `log2(100000000) * 18` months to achieve…
