Can Engineering Catch Up With Quantum Physics?

Can Engineering Catch Up With Quantum Physics And Bring Us Useful Quantum Computing? Quantum computing has become one of the most exciting frontiers in modern technology — but also one of the most challenging. The big question remains: Can engineering catch up with quantum physics and bring us useful quantum computing that actually works at scale? Image credit: University of New South Wales Despite billions of dollars pouring into research and startups worldwide, the industry still struggles with hardware limitations that slow progress toward reliable, scalable quantum machines. A Billion-Dollar Race Against Physics Investment in quantum computing continues to soar, with over $3 billion funneled into the sector in just the first half of September. Companies and research labs are racing to commercialize machines capable of solving problems that would take today’s fastest supercomputers thousands of years. Yet, beneath the hype lies a reality check. Many of the physical components inside thes…
