Will Quantum Computers Replace Semiconductors in the Next 5 Years?

AI Thread Summary
Quantum computers are currently in the research phase, and a major shift from semiconductors to quantum technology within the next five years is considered ambitious. Significant advancements are being made, but practical applications in consumer electronics are still distant. The transition will require collaboration between physicists and engineers once foundational work is complete. The concept of a "qPhone" replacing traditional devices remains speculative at this stage. Overall, while excitement surrounds quantum computing, its widespread adoption is not imminent.

Hi All, we hear about this term quantum computers and electronics which is currently under research. Will there be any major shift in our computer industry from semiconductor to quantum in next 5 years? Is there any significant advancement in this field? Just curious to know:)
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
imo 5 years is a bit ambitious. Once the physicists are done, they can hand their work over to the engineers, we can start thinking about replacing the iPhone with the qPhone. Until then, we are all waiting with great anticipation!
 
Thank you.
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
