Quantum Computing
My view… stated hierarchically.
They’ll never get useful quantum computers going. They are fighting entropy with no steady state to aim for.
Even if they do, there are only a handful of applications. First the problem has to fit into a waveform function to go into the processor. The quick processing capability uses entanglement, which is all good. But the solution is read in the binary state, further limiting which problems that can be solved.
The current supercomputer market is $12b per annum. My guess is the quantum opportunity is $1b at best given the limitations of the algos that can be applied.
Govt spending billions for strategic reasons. Security mainly.
Investors have piled in because the academics have decided to conflate the processing benefit to all computing. It hasn’t been in their self interest to explain the limitations.
And to be fair the academics don’t understand the business side themselves muchly.
That’s it. A boondoggle of tulips.
I hope I’m wrong.
