▶ Only Labs are working on experimentation to create physical qubits with HUGE constraints:

– Most of the experimentation only work near absolute zero (-273.15°C)

– Quantum stability last only few seconds

– Quantum entanglement and probability generate noise, so data is not reliable

– etc.

Why don’t we have a Quantum Computer today?
