Plenty of people are adopting a cynical mindset insofar as they are shunning entire research directions that might be as promising as “mainstream” quantum platforms like superconducting qubits. I agree hype is problematic but we should battle hype through scientific discourse rather than belittling.

I am talking about a time scale on the order of a century. A century ago, we didn’t even have the transistor. If everyone adopts a cynical mindset, nobody will care enough to make any progress.

A lot of my scientist friends are going to Europe. I think it will be a while until US loses its edge in science, but if the current policies are sustained, research in US will definitely take a significant hit.

If you can bring the quantum community here, science posts will exponentially increase.

I would say learn the fundamentals of how these technologies work rather than just apply them. Being able to call the facade when tech gets overhyped is immensely valuable and allows you to enter and exit tech waves at the right time.
