hr for accelerators.......when to turn the cooling on and off , or spin up additional remote resources to carry on the work?
management of the network and it's constituents is a key to optimization of the work flow and reliability of same.
parallel messaging instructions need to be granularly correct. data migration secure. you desire edge but maybe other assets are primed and ready to assume the work. the edge of the world with respect to space /extraterrestial work changes as the earth rotates. sun shines, more heat and therefore more cooling might be required, but with fast enough internodal qpu communications, won't/can't skip a beat. wags.
spacex starship, the booster maintained communications and management, while the starship part lost communications, management, and blewup in some order thereof. elon already knows what he thinks the problem is/was and how to fix it, including the exact location.......do you think he's got a digital twin in his basement? i do.and connected to a quantum pu , running scenarios /testing his hypothesis and then his fix. cuda-q.......kona, so he's likely already working with space force.
pundits want him to stop and have a pow wow with faa. fortunately, it won't be the ole mayor pete faa.

The debate over quantum computing raged for a second week as Meta Platforms (META) Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg echoed Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang's view that the technology is not ready for prime time. Now, the CEO of SAP (SAP), one of the biggest software companies in the world, has weighed in, pushing back on the view that quantum computing won't have a significant impact in the near future.
"We see quantum, not in 10 or 15 years, but certainly in three to four years," SAP CEO Christian Klein told Investor's Business Daily.
What Is A Quantum Computer?
That's dramatically faster than Huang's view that quantum computing won't be "very useful" for 15 to 30 years.
SAP, an enterprise software powerhouse, offers tools used by major corporations and big organizations for their operations, such as supply chains, sales and human resources. The company has been working with quantum computing companies to explore the use of the technology in enterprise software, Klein said. He declined to name SAP's quantum computing partners.
Klein said the technology is promising, especially in a key area: supply-chain management.
Quantum Computing: Impact On Supply Chains
"A supply chain is an unbelievably complex construct," he said. "You have millions of suppliers and to really calculate the right logistics, to really calculate which supplier can deliver best when, to really say which factory should you produce, to deliver on time — these are unbelievable, complex scenarios."
SAP — which competes with other enterprise software behemoths like Oracle (ORCL), Salesforce (CRM) and Microsoft (MSFT) — has been looking into how the company can "solve all of these very complex dependencies much better."
"There is a door which is opening with quantum computing," he said. "We see this absolutely."
The technology can have a potentially dramatic impact, Klein said.
With "scenarios which we are running on supply chains," what would "normally, today, take a week we now can do in an hour."
"There are a lot of things coming together," he said. "But time-wise, we can definitely believe that simulations you would run today in a week, you can probably bring down to an hour. Give this technology a few more years, probably we will talk hours or minutes at a certain point of time."
The debate over quantum computing erupted at a time when the spotlight has been on artificial intelligence as the major trend driving the tech industry.
SAP Developing AI Tools
It is a trend that SAP has also embraced, joining other enterprise software giants in the race to develop AI tools for enterprises.
"AI was always, for us, a key value driver for all of our solutions and for the platform," Klein said.
SAP stock gained 1.6% to close at 253.50 as it nears the 256.13 buy point of a flat base, according to MarketSurge. The stock, which is up roughly 3% year to date, has a Relative Strength Rating of 90.
Quantum computing stocks also posted solid gains Tuesday.
After slipping in morning trades, Ionq (IONQ) rose 6% to close at 29.51. Rigetti Computing (RGTI) jumped 48% to close at 8.95, while D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) gained 23.5% to close at 4.70. The three stocks each hold a perfect Relative Strength Rating of 99, according to MarketSurge.

Whether investors are ahead of the technology, lagging behind or in step, quantum computing is in the foreseeable future. This may be the decade of AI, but, to really accelerate progress, AI will have to integrate quantum computing to make the most of AI. Companies are working on all fronts to make that a reality and I think that is the main objective of this conference. Integration of the 2 platforms.

I welcome dissenting views as well. Like you said, it may make one consider something they werent considering.
That being said, I responded to your prior post, in a respectful manner, to the question you asked and provided examples and factors as to why a big company may want to buy up a quantum company. Yet no response, debate or criticism of my post. So I guess my points were well taken by you?
Its great to have different positions, legitimate questions and debate those issues. However, when you have your hand on the scale with self-serving statements about companies not investing billions $$ into quantum, it becomes difficult for many here to take you seriously. You can do better than that. There are legitimate questions about quantum and any new technology.
Good luck to you.

why are all the big tech companies on board with it? Seems like you are sticking your head in the sand a bit here.
About 30 years ago, I started investing with help from Silicon Investor posters. They were helpful, they posted accurate information and I regarded most of them as online friends. We welcomed views that dissented from our own as it gave us an excellent opportunity to learn something that we might have otherwise missed.
This IONQ thread bears no resemblance whatsoever to the silicon investor environment that I knew and loved.
I tend to respond to the most widely inaccurate comments made here by the bulls. Bears and bearish comments are not tolerated here, let alone welcomed.
Most big tech companies are not on board with quantum computing. Ask Jensen Huang or Mark Zuckerberg if they believe quantum computing will replace AI within the next 10 to 15 years. Most big tech companies are aggressively rolling out AI, both for their own internal use and as a service for their customers and to other companies. None of them are spending even a small fraction of what they have committed to AI on quantum computing initiatives.
I respond to the most outlandish comments with facts. The financial information and forecast that I report here are sourced directly from reports issued or filed by IONQ. I attempt to share facts with people who have been lured by the wildly inaccurate claims so many of the bulls here repeatedly make.
Why do you and so many of the other bulls respond so violently to accurate information being shared here? If it offends you, why don’t you just put me on ignore?

OK, about 60 out of 190 countries in this world have a GDP larger than $450 billion US. While it’s a true statement, I fail to see any relevance whatsoever to quantum computing or quantum anything.
Then you go and make the outlandish statement. that quantum computing will grow to somewhere between 450 billion and $800 billion US. If we look at IONQ, it’s going to struggle to get to 1 billion before 2030 given that its cumulative revenue is less than 100 million since it’s IPO.
I keep asking what business processes will be able to use any service or product from any of the emerging quantum corporations. So far the answer has been “none“. …. And no one talks about generating any earnings anytime soon.
Well, it’s nice to dream about the enormous potential. It really needs to be some reality associated with those dreams. So far, no business seems to be eager or anxious or even willing to spend any money buying any quantum service if the term “any money“ is defined as being several billion dollars annually.
And you getting excited about the fusion of quantum computing with AI is utterly irrelevant.
… Unless you’ve got several hundred billion dollars, that you’re gonna spend on this fusion product. Right now, no business or government for that matter is going to spend the kinds of dollars that you’re dreaming about. …. On something that doesn’t even exist and probably will not within our lifetime.
