The DeAngelis Review

Quantum computing is hailed as the next big breakthrough that will propel the world into a new and better future. Nevertheless, the challenges faced by those trying to create a universal, programmable quantum computer are daunting. Many analysts suggest we are at least a decade away from someone building the quantum computer for which researchers long.

Quantum computers rely on quantum bits (or qubits), which are notoriously fragile. This fragility means that quantum computers are also subject to errors. Fortunately, researchers are working furiously to overcome these challenges. Every breakthrough step brings the goal of a universal, programmable quantum computer a little closer.

Scientists simulated a wormhole using a quantum computer to explore a connection between quantum mechanics and general relativity. This experiment may bring us closer to understanding the universe, but it doesn't create authentic wormholes for travel.

Aspect, Clauser, and Zeilinger won the 2022 Nobel Prize for their quantum entanglement experiments. Their work has been crucial for developing quantum computers and secure communication.

According to the Oxford Languages Dictionary, an apocalypse is “the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation” or “an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale.” Either definition is bad. Some experts predict that creating a universal, programmable quantum computer will usher in an apocalypse.
