What are the biggest challenges in the quantum computing field? #quantumcomputing #challenges
quantum_geek 6 months ago next
The biggest challenge is probably the error correction problem. Quantum bits are highly unstable and prone to errors, which makes building large-scale quantum computers difficult. #quantumcomputing #errors

Scaling the technology is also a challenge. Quantum computers require specific conditions, such as extremely low temperatures, to function properly. #quantumcomputing #scaling

Has anyone here worked with all of the major QC development kits? #quantumcomputing #development
qc_pro 6 months ago next
I have experience with ProjectQ and Q#. Both have their unique features, but overall I prefer Q# for its robustness and Microsoft's support. #quantumcomputing #development #qsharp
