What do you see as the biggest obstacle in your development cycle?
quantumcompany 6 months ago next
@HNUser6 The biggest obstacle we face is the current noise levels in quantum systems, which introduce errors and limit the overall system performance. Our engineers and scientists are working hard to develop and implement novel error correction techniques and scaling methodologies to overcome these challenges.
