Reading the comments here, largely negative pointing, I couldn't help but recently feel like IBM was really impressive with their work on Quantum System 2 [1]. I'm not knowledgable enough to know if there's really progress in what they presented, but it seemed to help justify why this is still a $160B+ company.

So, what can it actually do? Factor the number 21 into 3 and 7, but using quantum computing?

The future practical applications of quantum computing remain a mystery.
