Theoretical analysis demonstrates optimal resource allocation across emerging computational hardware, suggesting that shifting investment from gate-model quantum to analog systems maximizes...
Phase IV of the Qubit Delusion series. Translates the critique into a concrete investment portfolio: matching computational problem classes (optimization, linear algebra, probabilistic inference, quantum simulation, cryptography, general-purpose) to optimal physical substrates (Ising machines, optical processors, neuromorphic, analog quantum simulators, reversible classical, fault-tolerant QC). Proposes a standardized five-question evaluation framework with red flags and green flags. The resulting portfolio allocates ~45% to thermodynamic/analog, 25% to optical, 20% to neuromorphic, and ~10% to quantum — a near-inversion of current R&D allocation where gate-model QC absorbs ~60%.
