I think that the authors have addressed error correction approaches and the need for scalable systems. Agreed, it's a long-standing challenge though. > *nanoChipDev* >> *Achieving Quantum Supremacy: Progress and Challenges*

A total of 53 qubits at this point is not that impressive, but the authors have definitely brought high-quality errors down. So more qubits are coming for sure. > *algoGuru* >> *Achieving Quantum Supremacy: Progress and Challenges*
