Quantum computers solve problems differently, experts stress

Original: ⚛️ Quantum computers are not faster versions of ordinary computers. They use qubits, interference and entanglement to so

Quantum computers are not simply faster versions of ordinary computers. They rely on qubits, interference and entanglement to tackle certain calculations in a fundamentally different way. The main obstacle, according to commentators, is reliability: without error correction, quantum information decays before long computations can be completed, which remains the field's central engineering challenge.

Why now: Ongoing debate about what quantum computers can actually do and the reliability barriers still to overcome.
