Drama over quantum computing’s future heats up.

Microsoft presented new data on its quantum computing chip at a conference in Anaheim , California .

Microsoft had to retract a similar claim that it had built a new type of quantum hardware in February .

Quantum computers won’t be able to tackle anything useful for at least another decade , says physicist Andrea Morello .

A useful quantum computer will need thousands , perhaps a million physical qubits, corresponding to hundreds or thousands of logical qubits.

It’s unlikely that quantum computers will be useful for everyday tasks like word processing or internet browsing.

The US , European Union , and the UK governments have pledged funding in the billions to develop quantum computing.
