We walk through decoherence, the no-cloning theorem, and the physical-to-logical qubit ratio that decides whether a quantum computer is useful or just a science project.\nLinked sources: NIST Demonstrates 'Data Repair Kit' for Quantum Computers — National Institute of Standards and Technology\nQuickly Quantum is an AI-voiced podcast, built and run by a real person.
