“I do believe, much like we have with classical computing and all, a lot of other hardware, there is going to be a winning quantum computing architecture that scales faster and better than others, and then there are going to be potentially interesting, but likely inferior technologies that, that, that are out there, and I feel like the next couple of years, we're going to see companies emerge with capabilities that, that nobody else can match, and are going to have a hard time catching up to.”

Cupta: Fully realized quantum computers will solve exponential permutation problems in parallel
“And this is the challenge that a quantum computer can solve in an ultimate state, because it's able to solve all those things in parallel versus doing something in series. And so problems get really, really challenging when you have permutations that grow at a…”
Classical computers cannot simulate molecular systems more complex than two atoms
