Quantum computing promises to revolutionize many sectors, but understanding where its impact will first become tangible remains an open question. For those working in or studying quantum computing:
What practical applications do you see quantum computing enabling within the next 5-10 years?
How do current quantum algorithms like quantum annealing or variational algorithms help solve real-world problems in areas like drug discovery, portfolio optimization, or supply chain management?
Are there specific fields or problems where quantum computing might make an impact sooner than others, and what are the hurdles in achieving these outcomes?
