Will Quantum Computers Replace Semiconductors in the Next 5 Years?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Quantum computers are currently under research and are not expected to replace semiconductors within the next five years. Significant advancements in quantum computing technology are still needed before practical applications can be realized. The transition from traditional semiconductor technology to quantum computing will require collaboration between physicists and engineers. The timeline for such a shift remains uncertain, making the prospect of a "qPhone" premature at this stage.

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.
