Yonatan Cohen, CTO at Quantum Machines, says quantum computing will see its first real use cases in two to four years, though still niche. Today's machines have 100 to 1,000 qubits and can solve math problems classical computers would take years on, but the problems aren't useful yet. Scaling up and reducing errors are the next hurdles.

We may even see applications in a couple of years, right? 2, 3, 4 years. We're hoping to see serious use cases, but these will still be very niche applications. In order to see something bigger, we need to build much larger-scale quantum computers and also quantum computers where we deal with the biggest problem of quantum computers today, which is the noise or the error rate. So today we have working quantum computers that are somewhere between, you know, 100 to 1,000 physical qubits. We have billions of bits in a classical computer, right? But still, there are already things that the quantum computer can do that are very, very hard for a classical computer to do. Those things are not useful yet, but there are well-defined mathematical problems that we can do with those 100-qubit devices that a classical computer cannot do. Even a supercomputer will take it, you know, many, many years to do.
