Well yes but quantum computing and silicon photonics are not entirely separate fields. Photonic computing can still enable introduction of algorithms that utilise quantum properties.
I would agree that some claims are lies or misguided, however yes with the right algorithmic processes, these devices can affect current security of cryptography one day. That doesn't mean their work was worthless but like everything, things progress. It's not obsolete, it's been built on.
The industry shouldn't be fabricating claims but the industry that is honest of which there are many, do not need to protect other industries. Fabrication happens in every industry.
Tech is only obsolete if you aren't inventive of how to repurpose it.
the whole "industry" is a fabrication.
you use pseudoscientific aesthetics to steal money from taxpayers and the stock market. Non of this will ever produce real economic value.
> That doesn't mean their work was worthless but like everything, things progress.
what an obscene claim. Some things are not progress they are just fraud. You are peddling modern day alchemy. That "one day" it would affect the price of gold never came.
Your stuff is ivory tower theoretical research. You shouldn't be allowed to stand here and make "predictions" that one day you will make gold from lead.
in the next few years people like you will not be allowed to make your fraudulent claims without pushback. Credibility for this "industry" is only going down as you are unable to deliver.
