Historical record of Martinis's 1985 papers using analog simulators for macroscopic quantum tunneling experiments
Source: Academic publications from 1985
Significance
Shows the evolution from rudimentary measurements to modern quantum computing

John Martinis says the early macroscopic quantum tunneling experiments, which Forbes dates to 1985, used analog simulators and were very rudimentary; Forbes reads this as meaning the technology to do the measurements did not yet exist.
