Quantum Computing Scalability Paradigms
A technical assessment of the gap between theoretical quantum potential and current engineering limitations, viewed through the lens of institutional expectation management.
The current quantum computing race exhibits signs of inherited research optimism where 'Name the Lie' electrodes regarding decoherence are often deferred to maintain funding cycles.
LHS Lens Analysis
