50-bits, so not losing sleep over it... .. . yet

@orange The plans totally changed lately. A few months ago the goal was to increase the number of QBits, more and more. But as the QBits increase, the errors associated are raising exponentially. So now the goal is to reduce the errors, and the only thing they found for this task is to increase the number of QBits, which in turn increases the number of errors... And seeing the price of such a beast, I don't see R2R buying one soon, or even a "free online computing service for everyone"...

I think that these computers will be a real pain in the ass in the not-too-distant future. Especially on the artificial intelligence side
