While the advancements are significant, quantum computing does face substantial obstacles. The phenomena of quantum decoherence, where qubits lose their quantum state due to environmental disturbances, is a major challenge that researchers must overcome. Maintaining qubit stability and implementing effective quantum error correction techniques are critical to achieving reliable, scalable quantum systems.
Moreover, quantum computers require extreme conditions for operation—often close to absolute zero—which makes them expensive and complicated to scale. Researchers are making strides in enhancing error correction and stabilizing qubits, but widespread adoption still seems years away.
