   The estimate is roughly E = rho*R^5/t^2 with rho the density of air: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor%E2%80%93von_Neumann%E2%...

   Counting frames on YouTube, I get about 0.3s for the blast front to reach the top of the 600ft towers. That gives an estimate of around 600 tons TNT so definitely nowhere near all the fuel exploding.

   Oh come on, what is this crap? Absolutely no thermal efficiency numbers or anything else you could use to validate any claims. Especially if you are claiming that an aero-derived turbine is somehow going to be better than a purpose-built un

   Latest numbers are about 1e6 qubits with 1e-4 error rate: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.15917 . Gates (in the sense the OP means) is harder to quantify in the error corrected context once you compile to the operations that

   Best one I know of as a direct replacement is AWS PALACE: https://awslabs.github.io/palace/stable/ Of course, you have to interact with the solver through JSON files and provide your own initial mesh. They recentl
