Survey: Majority of academics working in quantum computing think it's moving faster than expected

That's according to a recent QuEra survey of 927 people (researchers, executives, media, enthusiasts, etc.) associated with the field of quantum computing. Of those surveyed, 74.9% “expect quantum computing to become a better alternative to traditional computing for certain workloads within the next 10 years.” When asked how fast the field of quantum computing is evolving, more than half said “faster than I expected” or “much faster than I expected.” In academia, this figure rises to 55%.
