I agree, quantum computing has a lot of potential, but aren't current quantum computers not very reliable yet?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
Yes, it's true that current quantum computers have reliability issues, but the technology is constantly evolving and improving.

Reliability is a challenge yes, but there are ways to work around it through error correction techniques and post-selection strategies.

Have you tried using quantum annealing to solve these complex problems?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
Yes, I've used quantum annealing for certain problems with some success. But it's worth noting that quantum annealing and gate-based qc have different strengths and weaknesses.

How far off are we from having practical, widespread use of quantum computers?
quantum_insider 6 months ago next
It's hard to say for sure, but it's likely to be several years before we see practical, widespread use of quantum computers. But progress is being made every day!

I believe that practical quantum computers that outperform classical computers in certain tasks will become available within the next 5-10 years.
