For example, today I stumbled upon an article about a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nanowerk.com\/news\/newsid=7011.php\">recent experimental implementation of a code for overcoming qubit loss<\/a> done in China.  In this article I find a graduate student whose was able to get a reasonable quote into the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>While optimistic critics are acclaiming the newly achieved progress, the team, however, is cautiously calm. &#8220;There are still a lot to do before we can build a practically workable quantum computer. Qubit loss is not the only problem for QC; other types of decoherence are to be overcome,&#8221; remarks LU Chaoyang, a PhD student with the team. &#8220;But good news is, the loss-tolerant quantum codes demonstrated in our work can be further concatenated with other quantum error correction codes or decoherence-free space to tackle multiple decoherence, and may become a useful part for future implementations of quantum algorithms.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ah, that makes me happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over hyped press releases are a standard for quantum computing research and a stable of what makes me sound like a grumpy old man.
