Error rate remains more or less proportional with qubit growth as long as companies optimize for qubit growth alone. But once you have thousands of qubits you can use that to build something like a few dozen error-free logical qubits. Most companies don't believe it's worth attempting that yet and that it's better to optimize for qubit growth for now.
- mirekrusin 7y agoI think that's what they are arguing with - if you increase number of entangled qubits - your error rate will explode the same way that your "computational potential". If that's the case then the whole quantum computing has a huge problem, you'd have to cool it down closer and closer to absolute zero. Having more machines that do poor calculation won't help here - you'll end up with a farm of expensive fridges. Just for the record - I want this to be false, quantum computing will hopefully work.
