According to some experts quantum computing will never materialize as it will require control over an exponentially large number of quantum states, and that this amount of control is too difficult to achieve. According to Intel there are four key challenges that could keep quantum computing from becoming a reality – Qubit Quality, Error Correction, Qubit Control, Too Many Wires. Researches at Intel are working to tackle each of these challenges. But if solved, we could create a commercially relevant quantum computer in about 10-12 years… read more.
