The Future of Technology
We say quantum computers will break the internet, but probably not. The other promising future prospects of quantum technology include things like quantum simulations. If you could create a material that can conduct electricity with absolutely no resistance, then you wouldn't have to build coal fired smoke plants right next to cities. You could just throw a whole bunch of solar panels at the middle of the desert and the entire world would have free electricity. Why can't we do that? Well, because it's nearly impossible for us to simulate using conventional technology. What happens when we put even just a few atoms together? That the number of degrees of freedom and the amount of data that we'd have to track is just impossible for
