I read about it here :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiuzhang_(quantum_computer) because there is nothing interesting in that scmp article.

How is it valid to call this a computer ? Seems like if I said : I am making fluid flow calculations by using a pipe and water. ~~Do get~~ Do I get it right ? These are not calculations ; these are experiments.

These are not calculations ; these are experiments

Alan Turing discovered, long ago, that calculations can be phrased as physical experiments. It's the basic idea behind the whole field...

I understand your statement here and I agree with it. Can you say the same about my previous comment ?
Oops, I just noticed a typo in my previous comment ((~~Do get~~ Do I get it right ?))
