    I don't have a great grasp of what's going on with quantum computing, but I saw a talk today about how it is advancing apace. IBM now at 53 qubits.

    Given the stated potential of quantum computers, seems worrying that they will be the playthings of wealthy states and corporations. Barclays recently used it for some financial application for example. The liberatory potential could be vast, but will it be used for those ends? Don't want to be a crank, but I'm not feeling particularly hopeful...
