I am curios to know more about the disparity in spending between the US and China? I assumed they would be neck and neck. Anyone have any thoughts?

US has a lot of private funding. Lots of heavy hitters, Amazon, Microsoft, General Electric, the entire military industrial complex, are all either running their own initiatives or providing funding in partnership with quantum technology research institutions.

Aside from companies doing the heavy lifting over the fed for the advances US politicians genuinely know next to nothing about technology.

Remember the hearings where those morons interviewed social media heads, and Ted Cruz obviously not knowing what an algorithm is. Not bump that up to quantum computers they have no idea what they’re in for. China on the other hands actually listens to their tech and science experts and have put their money in the right place imo

Dude… no shit. Why did you even both to say that polticians don’t know anything about QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY. That’s like 99% of the population. It’s obviously the research scientists and engineers who work on this that know about it.

Yeah the difference between the rest of the population and politicians is that the rest of the population doesn’t make decisions for the group that will effect all of us. And they don’t have money (paid for by taxes) to hire experts to give them dumbed down versions of it. Politicians do and need to listen to experts. They need to have more tech experts in DC that they will actually listen to.
