Quantum Computing:
Separating Hype from Realistic Expectations
by: Dr. franz georg fuchs
The rapid rise of quantum computers has generated immense hype regarding their short-term potential. If they can be built at scale, these machines possess the capability to outperform classical computers, offering enhanced speed and/or energy efficiency for solving valuable problems. Equally important is to develop algorithms that can utilize quantum computers in an advantageous way.
Coined by John Preskill in 2017, noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) computers harness a limited number of "faulty" qubits. Despite remarkable strides in quantum hardware and algorithms, no practical use case has yet fulfilled the original definition of the NISQ regime. In this presentation, we will explore the current landscape from both a hardware and software perspective, aiming to discern the realistic future applications of quantum computing while distinguishing them from the surrounding hype. We will shed light on the state of quantum computing, its current capabilities, and the challenges it faces on the path towards practical implementation.
