IBM has quietly revised its ambitious quantum computing roadmap, prioritizing error correction over a rapid increase in the number of qubits. This reflects a growing realization that simply adding more qubits doesn't automatically solve the crucial problem of maintaining quantum states. The current focus on error correction is echoed by Google's recent progress in this area. The overall status of quantum computing is described as mixed, with funding continuing to be substantial but likely to face scrutiny and challenges in achieving commercial viability due to the complex interplay of errors and cross-talk between qubits. The summary also points out that increasing qubit counts introduces new errors, highlighting a delicate balance between scale and error minimization. While progress is being made, achieving widespread practical applications appears to be a long-term, substantial, and likely expensive endeavor.
