Hold These Truths with Dan Crenshaw

CHAPTER

The Challenge Around Quantum Computing Is Entanglement

The first quantum computers are going to be extremely large because most of it's going to be there to screen out the error rates. A hundred, in order to get a hundred qubits of zero error rate right now, you have to have lots of qubits to fix the error rate of the qubit next to it,. So people are targeting a million qubits or more to come up with a hundred logical qubits or the equivalent of zero. The way that we're effectively doing it is effectively freezing the little atoms, right, and cryogenics that are milli-kelvent above zero. I mean, like incredibly, basically just freeze the little atom, freeze the qubit.
