Red pill me on quantum computers.

Instead of just |0> or |1>, we can also have |0>+|1>.

How does one work in the quantum computer industry/research field? And what sort of research is being done. Reason I ask is because I know this autistic dude who is a first year physics/astrophysics major who told me he will do his PhD in quantum computing, improve them and use them to build ai. Is this an achievable feat as a lone pHD? I'm under the impression that the issue with them is more to do with the engineering/downscaling of them, rather than the physics behind it?

>first year physics major

99% percent of these are autists who have no idea what they are talking about.

Yeah I figure. This guy is doing pretty decent right now in school so he's not a complete fucking moron. That being said, whats the main hurdle with quantum computers right now? Is it more of an engineering challenge? Or do we need to do more research on the physics going on? Are there any breakthroughs that would make these things exponentially more useful?

From my layman understanding, it's more of an engineering challenge. Several ways of making qubits are known, but they tend to take a lot of space and aren't really easily done. Except for dWave (and their methods are questioned), no-one has a system that'd be easily mass-producible or even stable over long times without constant supervision. Of course the actual use also still needs work, but the theoretical part of quantum algorithms and such has already been explored for several years and thus has a head-start on the engineering part.

But herkov theorem tells us it can only use two bits like a traditional binary. So what's the advantage?

not op, but this is great. thanks

it isnt just an engineering problem, for one it hasnt been proven that bqp is faster than bpp, for two there is a lot of algorithmic research needed to make it work, for example practically implemetable quantum error correction

You need to cool that shit down to close to absolute zero.
