    IIRC, those several million qubit computers out there right now aren’t really comparable, either. They’re using a ton of qubits, expecting a lot of them to fall out of superposition, but hoping they have enough to get a useful result. IBM’s approach is to try to get the most out of every qubit. Either approach is valid, but IBM’s 1000 qubits can’t be directly compared to millions of qubits used elsewhere.
