Fascinating analysis! I think the future of quantum computing will also depend on the development of error correction techniques and practical algorithms that can be run on noisy, medium-sized quantum processors.

Absolutely agree, as we can't ignore the existence of noise and errors in quantum systems. There is some exciting progress on error correction, like the Surface Code, but it's still in its early stages.
