Physicist Scott Aaronson is offering a US$100,000 award for a demonstration, convincing to him, that scalable quantum computing is impossible in the physical world. “This award has no time limit other than my death, and is entirely at my discretion (though if you want to convince me, a good approach would be to convince most of the physics community first),” he says.
