Researchers have found a way to perform certain quantum operations more than 1,000 times faster, cutting thousands of repeated control cycles down to just one. The advance could reduce errors and bring reliable, fault-tolerant quantum computers closer to reality.

    I can count bits and know how much complexity you can build into them, so I can see that the interesting problems where they promise that quantum computers could actually do something are far beyond what they can handle.

    They can handle a few hundred to a thousand bits, and getting more into it seems to get more and more complicated instead of easier. I would not be surprised if quantum computing will hit a wall where adding just another bit would eat more energy than all the AI burners together.
