Question: is a room-temperature, solid-state quantum computer mere fantasy?

I hope it’s not just fantasy – it’s what me and a lot of my colleagues are working on in our own small ways!

No one knows for sure, but we all think it’s possible. That’s why we’re trying our best to make it happen! A room-temperature quantum computer is many, many years away, but hopefully we’ll figure out how to build them one day. I’m definitely optimistic – quantum computers will be brilliant, I can’t wait!
