I've been working on quantum computing for a decade now, and this article provides an interesting perspective on its limitations. I'd like to add that error correction in quantum systems is still a major challenge.

You bring up excellent points about error correction, but from a theoretical perspective, I wonder if a new approach to quantum state encoding could help overcome some of these limitations?

While this was a fascinating read, I have to admit I'm more skeptical of the practicality of quantum computing. How soon can we expect real-world impact?

Securing encryption keys is one area where real-world impact is already being made, just look at companies like D-Wave. But I agree, more practical use cases need to emerge.

Quantum supremacy is indeed an exciting concept, but as the article mentions, a thorough understanding of the potential limitations is crucial before realizing its true potential.

True, modeling quantum systems is complex and requires powerful tools and resources. What do you suggest could be the most efficient way to learn and simulate these systems?

There are several free and open-source quantum computing software development kits (SDKs) available like Qiskit and Cirq that can help you get started with simulations and models. However, learning the complex math behind it all might still require formal education. Just my 2 cents.
