Clarke, Devoret and Martinis win 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics

6. I don't think "quantum computing" is going to go anywhere.

I wouldn't invest any of my time or money into it. The rest of the work is important and the prize well deserved.

Once we get a better handle on the actual relationship between information theory and physics I suspect they'll turn out to be different aspects of the same thing and that "quantum computers" will turn out to be the more convoluted and difficult means of solving certain classes of problems. Digital computers largely replaced analog computers and we'll discover they can replace quantum computers too, which will give us new insights about the universe described by quantum physics.

These are, of course, the ramblings of a lunatic.
