How much of the quantum race is real progress versus PR? - any thoughts

This keeps coming up in security circles and it deserves a proper thread.

The gap between headline announcements and what is actually deployable is the interesting part.

Interested in real answers rather than the obvious ones.

The timeline estimates keep getting revised and nobody seems to want to admit why.

Hmm, not convinced. You are not wrong.

Appreciate it.
