We have only a handful of qubits and they are noisy, right? So many people are hard at work trying to solve that. But the “other” elephant in the room is how to connect such qubits. Even if we had today millions of stable and coherent qubits… each of them has a plethora of controlling units, cables, refrigerators and probes. That takes up some space so a 1M qubit device will be bigger than many rooms. We need advances in miniaturization as well as in the qubit itself. But this week Australia may have a something to say about that.
