Everyone's celebrating quantum computing progress. Nobody's talking about the actual bottleneck. The biggest players in tech have spent the last five years announcing breakthrough after breakthrough in quantum computing: quantum supremacy, expanding qubit counts, entirely new qubit designs. But here's what almost never makes the headlines: it can take anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000 physical qubits just to create ONE reliable logical qubit. That error correction overhead, not qubit count, not temperature, is the real reason quantum computing still isn't close to solving real world problems. In this video, I break down: – Why physical qubits and logical qubits are completely different things – The actual error correction overhead problem nobody explains clearly – Why the industry's biggest players are betting on completely incompatible quantum architectures – What one of the most contested claims in quantum computing actually means – Why "breakthrough" announcements are often smaller th
