Today’s classical computers are headed to a plateau regarding performance/power increases and size decreases. Many companies are investing in quantum computers as the next generation of computers due to their vast potential. Said potential stems from their ability to exploit bizarre quantum phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement. However, the road is still long to achieve quantum computers capable of doing anything that today’s supercomputers cannot. The road is riddled with design challenges that heavily limit the extent of problems quantum computers can solve. Those challenges include error correction, increasing the number of qubits, and finding more efficient ways to create the super-cooled ultra-vacuum environments necessary for the operation of supercomputers.
