It's certainly not possible the quantum computing doesn't work at all, because it works. As you scale up, you might very well hit places where quantamalgarithms are faster. Personally, i think itis emely unlikely that there is some modification of quanta mechanics that prevents quantam computers from working. I don't even know what that would look like. Ah, so i don't know. So if stephen wolfram wants to predict it, that's the kind of prediction i would encourage people like him to make and weigh more precise.
Welcome to the November 2021 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
