A quantum computer would be required to run this simple x=0 test to verify progress. Steps 1-2 must be run on a quantum computer, everything else on a laptop.
1) x = 0
2) Determine x
3) Save x, don't overwrite previous values
4) Repeat steps 1-3 a reasonably large number of times, thousands or more.
5) Plot the distribution of x
The run time is optional because this is not a speed test. This is a test of whether the quantum computer can handle integers.
I claim that a quantum computer can never pass this test.
