    • Quantum computers will not appear soon, despite optimistic forecasts.

    • A quantum computer uses the strangeness of quantum states to perform calculations.

    • Qubits are the basis of quantum computing, but they are fragile and easily destroyed.

    • Decoherence is a major problem that hinders quantum computing.

    • Noisy quantum methods (NISQ) - one of the ways to correct errors, but has not yet reached the desired level.

    • Alternative methods include topological states, but their implementation remains undefined.

    • The possibilities of quantum computing do exist, but their implementation can be difficult.

    There’s definitely a lot of ueless hype surrounding it, and anything really with the word quantum in it. Quantum computers will be really good at a specific set of problem-solving, but a lot of the hype around them makes them out to be some sort of direct upgrade to normal computers which just isn’t true
