I agree that the applications for drugs design and material simulations would be the near future for QC, but unfortunately my professor seems not to focus on them. That's another source of my anxiety: when other groups are considering Fault tolerant frameworks, we are still at the most physical layer, and left behind by routes like neural atoms. So that may be more likely a personal trouble lol. As for the sensitivity of qubits, they're much more sensitive than integrated circuits and it's far more expensive to keep a suitable environment for the former. And there are natural limits for decoherence. Thank you for your insightful comment!

That your professor isn't focusing on them is okay. That can be someone else's job. Need to make the things work first. As far as the sensitivity. Yes they're more sensitive than ICs. My point was before clean rooms, that level of cleanliness was unheard-of. That quantum computing is another step up isn't surprising. Consider the conditions for some of the most advanced particle physics experiments. Room drafts have nothing on the LHC.

  Agreed. What's wise to do is always focus on where we are, instead of admiring others. I'm trying to adjust my mindset. And I'm also expecting more related hardwares or environments for quantum computers.
