Quantum’s next bottleneck is who writes the code
Published research suggests that 150 to 200 logical qubits could make quantum chemistry useful, and several hardware roadmaps aim for that range within a few years. Daniel Volz argues that the bottleneck then shifts to software. His team at BASF found 130-something use cases, and by his rough estimate only 1,000 to 2,000 people worldwide can program quantum circuits. He…
