Quantum vs. Classical Race
Achieving 'Quantum Supremacy' for a specific, non-practical problem has been demonstrated (simulated past). However, doing so for a calculation relevant to commercial or scientific benefit, using a machine available for purchase or cloud access, remains a significant hurdle. The even split reflects the tension: 'Yes' anticipates a breakthrough in error correction and qubit scaling. 'No' argues that scaling and maintaining the stability of the necessary qubits for sustained, complex, commercially relevant calculations will push this milestone beyond the 2029 deadline.
