Well, if this stays consistent, it would mean an exponential growth in processing speed and the potential to solve complex problems significantly faster than classical algorithms.

That's correct. We are seeing remarkable progress, but the future of quantum computing is still uncertain. There are countless challenges to overcome, and even more, research to do before practical application.

The most intriguing application is its potential impact on encryption. As quantum computers can factor large numbers exponentially faster than classical computers, we might need to adopt new encryption techniques, like quantum-resistant encryption.

Still, we should manage expectations. Quantum supremacy doesn't imply perfection. Quantum computers face numerous challenges in error correction and limited qubit lifetimes.
