        Quantum Computing Modalities – A Qubit Primer Revisited

As noted in this post, there has been significant advancements in Quantum Computing hardware over the past year or so and I expect this momentum will continue in 2023.  Presently there are QCs with 10s to 100s of qubits, and the coherence, connect-ability and control on these early machines continues to improve.  There are various tradeoffs among the QC modalities, summarized in this post.

Quantum Computing is the “Manhattan Project” of This Generation

Those who invest in the winners will enjoy significant outsized financial gains, and those who back the companies that do not survive, will lick their wounds.  But as an industry, the race is on, the potential rewards are massive, and the clock is ticking.  I sure hope that whoever wins the race uses the power to do good in the world.   

(Quantum) Winter is coming…or is it?

So, is quantum winter coming? Not in this writer’s opinion. There is still a long way to go before we have QCs that can add value to computational problems and even further before consistent quantum advantage. The hill is steep and the climb is arduous, but I am confident the view will be worth the climb.
