True, quantum computing can offer exponential speedups in certain cases. However, it's still a long way from fulfilling its potential. We need to build up the ecosystem and tools around it.

Agreed, quantum computing requires a different way of approaching problems and designing algorithms compared to classical computing.

That's true, and a large part of why it's taking time to materialize is because of the lack of experienced developers. Quantum resource estimation, for example, is a challenge on its own.

Any updates on error correction and stable qubits? I think addressing those issues is key for widespread adoption.

There are interesting developments in topological qubits and error correction algorithms. However, they are still error-prone and require better materials and techniques. Quantum error correction is a whole field on its own.

Qubits are fragile, but recent work on nitrogen vacancy centers and other solid-state platforms shows promise.

I think we will see more quantum supremacy demonstrations in the near future. The technology is still young but moving fast.

Indeed, supremacy isn't the end goal, practical quantum applications are. Keep an eye on hybrid-quantum algorithms and near-term quantum machine learning.
