Quantum Computing

Short answer: useful quantum advantage exists in a handful of narrow, mostly contrived problems. Practical, error-corrected machines that break RSA or design drugs are still years out — error correction is the real mountain,…

Everyone fixates on quantum breaking encryption. As a materials person, I think the first real wins are in simulation: modelling molecules and materials classical computers can't. Better batteries, catalysts, fertilisers. That's a quieter revolution…
