License their intellectual property for the pleasure of developing intellectual property for them. Make up the difference by subsidizing German farm equipment to sell to them at a taxpayer funded discount.

A liter of gas to power a portable generator represents economic growth in Ukraine right now so I’d believe it

Maybe it’s to force Trump to have to rescind the authorization or to give cover to the British and Fr*nch to use theirs

If a country could wear a security guard uniform and pretend to be a cop while pulling over cars for going 5 over the speed limit it would be Denmark

It’s not yet clear QC is even really possible.

There exist toys that prove it works in concept but it’s proving extremely difficult to scale these up to actually meaningful systems.

My understanding is that the core of the issue is the collapse of the wave function. QC works by exploiting quantum uncertainty and if the state collapses then the computation is over (or something like this, I’m not a physicist or QC expert.)

And the problem they’re facing is how to make systems that are much larger and therefore capable of computing more, but the larger a system is the sooner it will collapse.

It could be that it’s simply impossible or uneconomically difficult to make systems large enough to actually be of use and value.

Maybe this is a solveable problem, maybe it’s actually not. But QC is in the same bucket as cold fusion as a technology that would be extremely useful and we have reasons to believe it might be possible to actually do based on theory but it’s proving impossible to implement in practice.
