Folks once again it must be stressed that there are NO functional QC's in existence (yet). Yes great progress has been made since 1985 when the first Josephson junction transistors were created - they were the first physical proof that a quantum computer could be built. However, to-date only components that will eventually be integrated into a functional QC are being built and tested along with ideas about programming it. Compare it to say, developing the designs of DRAM and logic circuits independently - from scratch with no earlier designs to reference - so they can later be integrated into a CPU and then later all be tied together to make a computer. Oh, btw you also have to create an OS for it as well... As that Google white paper stated, right now QC developments are still at the chaos stage similar to automotive progress in the very early 1900's with several companies working their own ideas about what a car will be and how they will work. Many if not most of the QC design ideas will come and go before workable solutions are settled upon. Something folks need to realize that in Academia and Corporate research there is a saying: "Publish or become irrelevant". That translates to; find a relevant topic (preferably one that will catch attention), do some often biased research that you can extrapolate from and write about it. If you don't publish you may lose funding. The Google paper is about them improving algorithms to reduce the number of qubits needed for breaking current encryptions and nothing more. In the case of the Google paper and other similar ones about QC they carry on about What Could Be but gloss over the hurdles that have yet to be solved before their predictions can happen.
