Investors are hopeful about the promise of quantum computing, but experts expect a 'quantum winter.' Here's what they mean by that.
Although tech giants, quantum startups, and research labs have invested time and effort into developing quantum computers, there are no quantum computers today that can do anything a classical computer can't do.
"We think there's going to be a concept called 'quantum winter,'" Matthew Brisse, research vice president at Gartner, told Business Insider."There's so much hype, so people say, 'let's get involved, let's do it.' But then they see that the machines aren't ready yet, and we have to wait 5-10 years. There's a real risk of that, so we're monitoring that as well.
