It's Martinis and colleagues who are now attempting to
achieve quantum supremacy with 50 qubits, and many believe they will get there soon.
Martinis and others are already working on this, but it will take longer than
achieving quantum supremacy.
Google has announced Bristlecone, a 72 - qubit quantum computer that may be the first to kickstart a new computing era by
achieving quantum supremacy
Achieving quantum supremacy requires a computer of more than 50 qubits, but scientists are still struggling to control so many finicky quantum entities at once.

This goal of «
quantum supremacy» is generally thought to require about 50
quantum bits, or qubits, and Google hopes to
achieve it this year.
At about 50 qubits, many say a
quantum computer could
achieve «
quantum supremacy» and do something beyond the ken of a classical computer, such as simulating molecular structures in chemistry and materials science, or solving problems in cryptography.
