Quantum computing promises to solve problems that are currently impossible for classical computers, from drug discovery to climate modeling. But how close are we to practical quantum applications?
Major tech companies and research institutions are racing to build more stable, powerful quantum systems. Recent breakthroughs in error correction and qubit stability have brought us closer to quantum advantage—the point where quantum computers outperform classical ones for specific tasks.
However, significant challenges remain. Quantum systems are extremely sensitive to environmental interference, requiring near-absolute-zero temperatures and sophisticated error correction. The path to practical quantum computing is longer than initial hype suggested.
This article separates reality from speculation, exploring what quantum computing can actually do today, what’s coming in the next decade, and what remains in the realm of science fiction.
