summary

In this thought-provoking article, the author presents a case against the practicality of quantum computing. While acknowledging the vast potential of quantum computers in theory, the article argues that the challenges and limitations involved in building and operating practical, error-free quantum computers make them highly improbable. The author explores various technical and practical obstacles, such as the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to environmental disturbances and the immense difficulty of scaling the technology. Additionally, the article examines alternative approaches to classical computing that may offer more realistic and feasible solutions to computational problems. Overall, it presents a critical perspective on the feasibility and practicality of quantum computing.
