I think, there's too few positions for quantum software engineers taking into account that there're so few quantum computers. There're more people willing to work with quantum computers, than open positions. In 10 or 20 years there might be more positions, but until quantum computers become more affordable, there will be no mass employment in this profession.
It's always nice to learn new things, though, so I highly recommend learning about quantum computing and quantum mechanics. These are fascinating subjects.
- whatshisface 9y ago>taking into account that there're so few quantum computers It has not yet been demonstrated that there are any quantum computers, beyond test rigs that aren't better than classical ones.
- sincerely 9y agoSo, they are quantum computers, they just aren't powerful enough for your liking.
- whatshisface 9y agoSaying that "there are no better-than-classical" quantum computers is analogous to saying that no fusion reactor has ever been run at over-unity: an observation of a success metric that is easy to keep track of, necessary to obtain, and as it seems very difficult to actually flip. https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-era-of-quantum-computing-is-here-outlook-cloudy-20180124/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-era-of-quantum-computing-...
