Quantum computers
the number of qubits will be fundamental for progress, while limiting noise that disturbs the systems. Meanwhile, algorithms should be developed that can make use of current quantum computers. Quantum computers won’t resolve all world problems, and they won’t replace classical computers any time soon. Classical computers effectively process our general computational needs, but the world could certainly benefit from specific applications of this technology.
