The uncertainty principle at home?
Dont give up your smartphone just yet, however.
Quantum computers also could fuel drug discovery by running molecular level simulations more efficiently than using current computers.

Some scientists speculate on even more exotic possibilities for quantum computing.
This is as significant for the future of quantum computers as the microchip itself was for commercializing traditional computers.
Quantum computing is an entirely different technology than classical computing, both at a hardware and software level.

Doty pointed out that the familiar bit that runs current computers is either in a zero or one state.
“It is not clear what material platform or structure is best,” Doty added.
