Reading Juan Maldacenda’s recent paper on simulating a black hole only using quantum mechanics, not even quantum field theory.

He estimates it will take around 7000 logical qubits to simulate a black hole on a quantum computer, which is curiously roughly the same order of magnitude needed to break rsa/ec/bitcoin.

What are we at qubit-wise now?

I think a thousand physical qubits? Logical qubits can require just as many physical qubits though for error correction. But this may get better with improved error correction tech. This is a hot research area that I follow closely đź‘€

60 minutes did a show recently on this & I was amazed that they are making 1000 qubit systems already
