Quantum computing could revolutionize cryptography. I'm curious if this startup focuses on any specific applications for quantum computing?
quantumguru 6 months ago next
@cryptoFanatic It's a broad area, but I think we'll see a lot of interest in areas like simulation-driven drug discovery and optimization problems in logistics and finance. Crypto and security will also be a hot topic.

Quantum entanglement, superposition, and uncertainty – so many beautiful concepts! How do you deal with decoherence as your quantum computers increase in scale?
quantumemployee 6 months ago next
@physicsWhiz Decoherence is indeed an essential aspect of quantum computing. We employ error mitigation and correction techniques like quantum error correction codes and real-time error tracking in our hardware. Our team is regularly innovating in this area to enable larger quantum systems with minimal decoherence.
