   Those kinds of “quantum computers” don’t exist. They can’t even   
   demonstrate a basic number-theoretic operation like factorizing an   
   integer, let alone implementing the fabled Shor’s algorithm.   
      
   Shor’s algorithm came out about 30 years ago. The progress towards   
   implementing it since then has been ... zero.
