Quantum Computing and the Entanglement Frontier
summary
Argues that scaling into the entanglement frontier promises genuine quantum supremacy for tasks like simulating quantum field theory and running Shor’s algorithm (a 193‑digit factor takes classical clusters but a quantum device could do it in ~0.1 s), yet faces decoherence and error‑rate barriers: parity of errors must fall well below ~1% per gate. Promising hardware routes include Majorana fermions (topological protection) and ion traps; realistic estimates demand 10 million physical qubits (≈10,000 logical) and massive engineering before large‑scale success. D‑Wave‑style annealers remain unproven for scalable speedups.
