The quantum “tyranny of numbers”

In this talk I will attempt to break through the hype around quantum computing, and introduce the primary challenges and opportunities faced by emerging quantum computing technologies as they scale to practical utility. In particular, I will focus on the challenges faced in implementing quantum error correction, the impending “tyranny of numbers” faced in wiring up error-corrected quantum systems, and the innovations in quantum chip fabrication that could change the game for quantum computing.
