> So IBM hasn't been doing hardware R&D for about three decades

Even a 5 second google search says you are wrong.

Having a research department is very different from whether they are actually accomplishing anything and whether or not it is a meaningful revenue stream. On all fronts this is just not true. The quantum stuff so far in the industry is vapor ware and its unclear wether IBM is really making forward progress vs yearly pronouncements of progress to keep the funding stream open

  • You said they hadn’t one. Google search said you were wrong.

    You don’t get to change the goalposts.
