This market resolves YES if any such award is paid, of any amount.

It resolves NO if Scott announces that scalable quantum has been conclusivly demonstrated as possible and the award is impossible to win.

If the award is invalidated for any other reason, this resolves N/A.

For a market that's only about his full $100,00 award that scalable quantum computing is impossible, see here:

Get Ṁ200 play money

Sort by:

bought Ṁ50 of NO

I actually think that scalable quantum computing is unlikely (with our current understanding of physics, at least) but I'd be very surprised if this resolved YES regardless.
