Friedberg compares current quantum computing stage to 1977 personal computers, saying algorithms remain unknown.
“We don't know the algorithms yet. It's almost like trying to predict how people would use personal computers in 1977 or That's right. We're very early. Yeah.”
Friedberg asks Pichai when quantum computing becomes significant for humanity, comparing it to historically ignored Google bets.
“Because again, I wanna use the historical data that it does, it seems like a small bet, good luck. But what has quantum evolved to from a compute perspective for humanity?”
