IBM's quantum-resistant magnetic tape storage is not actually snake oil

IBM's quantum-resistant magnetic tape storage is not actually snake oil

The tape is not resistant to quantum computing at all. The problem isn't that qubits are going to escape their cryogenic prisons and go interfere with tape drives in the basement of some data center or HQ. The problem is what these quantum computers may be able to accomplish when they're finally put to use.
