⚡ The Biggest Myth About QuantumComputers

Most people think quantum computers are faster.

The reality? They’re actually slower than your laptop.

So why all the excitement?

Because quantum unlocks new algorithms that solve problems classicalcomputers can’t touch — from cracking encryption to simulating new medicines.

In Beyond the Qubit, I spoke with KoenGroenland (Quantum Amsterdam, CWI, QSoft). His mission:

Koen also shared a lesson I love:

“Sometimesthe best results come when you work smarter, not harder.”
