When Will Quantum Computing Reach Maturity? (Limits of Science: Podcast #4) In today's episode, we address the question of when a 100% operational quantum computer, free from errors due to interference or quantum "noise," will be possible. Are we talking about 2027, 2030, 2035? We will try to clarify, as much as possible, when this historic event, which could change everything, might occur! 00:00 - Introduction: Is 2026 the year of quantum computing? 00:50 - What is quantum advantage? 01:12 - Basic concepts: Bits, qubits, superposition, and entanglement 02:15 - IBM's advances: Logical qubits and error correction 03:16 - Real-world applications: New materials and batteries 03:44 - Will we have quantum computers at home? 04:50 - Key Sectors: Pharmaceuticals, Logistics, and Finance 05:40 - Global Investment and Adoption by Large Enterprises 06:27 - Where Are We in the Maturity Stage? 07:05 - IBM and Google Roadmaps (2026-2033) 07:54 - Cryptography and "Q-Day": The Threat to Digital Security 08:58 - Global Regulations and Strategies (US and EU) 10:19 - Break: Support the Channel!
