Quantum Computers Revisited

We are hearing more and more about these amazing yet mysterious machines that promise computation performance of immense magnitude. But the average person is rarely concerned about what goes into its concept and design, much less how they operate.

I soon found out that these machines are classified broadly into three types, the third being the most powerful yet the hardest to build. Some of the big tech companies claimed to have 'successfully' built and experimented universal type of quantum platforms, but I surmised that these are just sensational statements aimed at bringing up their share values.

Still, I'm not perturbed by the seeming difficulties and challenges to create such a machine that can be put into use. It's not a matter of 'if' but 'when'. And judging by the increasing mentions in news and journals, it may not be long before we see some working models serving the general public, just like the supercomputers a decade or two ago.

Hopefully, the characters in my novel will beat the big tech to the game, first.
