The comic is confidently patronizing and either very old or poorly researched. It assumes that isolated atoms are the only way to interact with superposition, which is not true and not where any of the next generation designs for quantum computing are headed. “Realization of universal quantum gates is rather challenging in the case of spin defects because the rigorous conditions needed for confining quantum decoherence are likely to limit the coherent exchange of information between qubits as a result of scarce control over qubit-qubit distances. In this respect, a chemistry-driven bottom-up approach to qubit scalability is more appropriate. Molecules are highly versatile, enabling their electronic structures and spin environments to be tuned at will with the use of simple synthetic chemistry tools. Moreover, they can be replicated in large number, functionalized in the desired way, and organized in a controlled manner for the production of large qubit arrays. Undoubtedly, chemical design offers endless opportunities for magnetic molecules to be tailored for specific technological tasks.” https://www.cell.com/chem/pdf/S2451-9294(20)30130-3.pdf https://www.cell.com/chem/pdf/S2451-9294(20)30130-3.pdf
