Isn’t quantum computing a loneliness problem? Not the loneliness of the researchers (though I’m sure those late nights in the lab can be isolating). I’m talking about the loneliness of quantum bits themselves. See, quantum computers are like islands, powerful, sophisticated islands, but islands nonetheless. A single quantum processor might hold thousands of qubits, which sounds impressive until you realize that the really transformative applications people dream about, the ones that could crack previously unsolvable problems, might need millions or even billions of qubits working together.
