What is Simmons's central idea in quantum computing?
My central idea is that building a useful quantum computer requires a pragmatic, step-by-step engineering approach. It's not enough to understand the quantum phenomena; we must engineer physical systems that can reliably control and manipulate qubits. This means tackling issues of decoherence, error correction, and scalability with rigorous experimental validation at each stage.
