The current state of quantum computing research
- By now, I hope you're as excited and intrigued as I am about the possibility of quantum computers. After all, they promise to usher in a new age of computing and to enable completely new ways for technology to serve humanity. The potential is so alluring. We want this capability now. Quantum computing is still an emerging technology. What major breakthroughs are required for it to enter the mainstream? - Taking the whole topological area as a whole, the main breakthrough that we're going after right now is getting even just the first functioning topological qubit. So it's really the most basic building block of the whole system, of the whole approach. The hope is that once we just get that first building block going or the first couple building blocks going, things will just snowball and take off from there in a way that is a lot easier than these other systems like superconducting qubits or whatnot. - [Man In Black Jacket] The technology for creating a qubit ranges from…
