BIG TECHNOLOGY Prediction Not checkable as stated
Baratz: Quantum Circuits' error-detecting superconducting qubits will win architecture race
“So we now have superconducting qubits that are a thousand times faster than trapped ion or neutral atom, but because of their inherent error detecting capability, they have qubit fidelity, just like trapped ion and neutral atom. Ah, that's the best of both wor…”

Y COMBINATOR Assertion Supported
Benjamin: Trapped-ion qubits achieve 50-second to 10-minute coherence times
“So for the superconducting qubits that many researchers are excited, and we do do work on that here in Oxford as well the decay time, the amount of time that can go by before the wonderful zero one superposition just degrades, is the tiniest fraction of a seco…”

Preskill: Superconducting circuits and trapped ions will lead for 5-10 years
“The most advanced are superconducting circuits and trapped ions, which is why I mentioned those first, and I think that will remain true, you know, over the next five to 10 years.”

Y COMBINATOR Assertion Supported
Preskill: Superconducting circuits execute gates faster than trapped-ion qubits
“They have the advantage of being faster than the time to take the cycle time, the time to do a gate is faster than with the trapped ions.”
