Do we have a quantum computer? Expert perspectives on current status and future prospects

Liam Doyle, Fargol Seifollahi, Chandralekha Singh

The rapid growth of quantum information science and technology (QIST) in the 21st century has created both excitement and uncertainty about the field's trajectory. This qualitative study presents perspectives from leading quantum researchers, who are educators, on fundamental questions frequently posed by students, the public, and the media regarding QIST. Through in-depth interviews, we explored several issues related to QIST including the following key areas: the current state of quantum computing in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era and timelines for fault-tolerant quantum computers, the feasibility of personal quantum computers in our pockets, and promising qubit architectures for future development. Our findings reveal diverse yet convergent perspectives on these issues. While experts agree that the current machines with physical qubits that are being built currently should be called quantum computers, most estimated that it will take a decade to build a small fault-tolerant quantum computer, and several decades to achieve scalable systems capable of running Shor's factoring algorithm with quantum advantage. Regarding carrying a quantum computer in the pocket, experts viewed quantum computers as specialized tools that will remain in central locations such as data centers and can be accessed remotely for applications for which they are particularly effective compared to classical computers. Quantum researchers suggested that multiple platforms show promise, with no clear winner emerging. These insights provide valuable guidance for educators, policymakers, and the broader community in establishing realistic expectations for developments in this exciting field. Our findings can provide valuable information for educators to clarify student doubts about these important yet confusing issues related to quantum technologies.

The Outer Limits

“The Outer Limits” seeks to determine if science alone could describe everything that is real in the universe. Most would probably agree that not everything can be explained by science. However, the question addressed here is whether science might be able to explain those things in the future. To answer this question, this chapter quickly moves through history from the discovery of electricity and magnetism to the development of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. It concludes that the separation between objects and events only exist within well-defined theoretical limits, and beyond those limits, everything converges into invisible forms of existence. It does not matter how much technology may advance in the future, there are certain things in the universe that can only be perceived in the mind of the observer.
