Love these writeups, Denis. No one describes quantum computing issues as clearly as you do. Thanks for the insights!

I am absolutely fascinated and totally confused when it comes to quantum computers I’ve been studying them for a couple of years now and I am no closer to understanding that I was when I started. Thanks for opening up the conversation.

Hi Hillary, what confuses you? What would you like to know?

"More qubits add complexity"

With the inevitable energy shortages due to supply destruction coupled with exponential demand growth, we'll be forced to become a less complex society. Good ideas like quantum computing will give way to great ideas, such as the availability of food, water, and energy out of necessity.

The question is, can quantum computing solve the problems it causes along with other problems we have in time, or will its complexity guarantee its failure? If it can't increase the supply of what we need for a complex society, then it will likely take off before creating its own demise. I'm hopeful that it can help solve shortages, not from an investment point, but for preventing an existential crisis.

Hi Jeremy, universal quantum computers don't exist yet, which means they can't solve every problem. But some of them like those by D-Wave Quantum are good for specific tasks like drug discovery.

This was informative. Any specific stocks you'd recommend for quantity computing?

I love these three: $QBTS, $RGTI, and $IONQ. They're already selling stuff, which is great. But they're incredibly volatile stocks.
