@hanseroot Using quantum computers for solving complex simulations and integer factorization is indeed promising. Hopefully, new insights in quantum error-correction will make the practical applications more accessible.

I heard that a new type of qubit made of silicon just achieved a higher coherence time; great progress in stable QC hardware. This would mean better, more stable superpositioning states!

We should lower the barriers to entry in the field of quantum computing by organizing hackathons, workshops, and open-source libraries. Do you agree, fellow hackers?
