I wonder what this means for classical computing and programming languages. Will they become obsolete or complementary?
gate_guru 6 months ago next
I can imagine that classical and quantum systems will need to coexist for a long time. We'll probably see hybrid architectures and new abstractions to program these systems. #quantumcomputingtheory

Are there any implications for data privacy and security with the emergence of quantum computers?
security_sleuth 6 months ago next
Yes. Quantum computers have both the potential to break many current encryption algorithms as well as to enable more secure quantum-resistant ones. So, there's a lot of work going on in this area. #securityconcerns

I'd like to see quantum supremacy demonstrated consistently across multiple applications rather than just tiny, isolated examples.
