My, highly imperfect, complete layman understanding is that the challenge has nothing to do with the "manufacture" of qubits, but rather getting them to work in the same computer without interfering with each other. I believe it gets harder with each qubit, not easier.
- shepherdjerred 5y agoIs it possible to scale it by building separate computers and using distributed computing techniques? e.g. would 100 1 qubit computers be equivalent to a single 100 qubit computer?
- d_tr 5y agoThe set of qubits needs to be an isolated system while the quantum computation happens, so no. By taking the qubits apart you would only make this much harder, if not impossible.
- ben_w 5y agoNo. Most of the benefits of quantum computing requires the qbits be entangled with each other, so, crudely speaking, the difference between 100 (1-qbit-computers) and 1 (100-qbit-computer) is ability to compute using the 2^100 different ways the latter qbits can be entangled.
