Quantum Hardware Faces Architecture Fragmentation as Five Competing Approaches Battle for AI Integration
Quantum computing remains pre-paradigmatic with five distinct hardware approaches—superconducting, ion trap, photonic, topological, and neutral atom—creating technology obsolescence risk for companies like South Korea's SDT Inc. No consensus exists on which architecture will best complement AI workloads, forcing quantum manufacturers to hedge bets or risk stranded capital. The medium-likelihood, catastrophic-severity risk reflects quantum's 70% confidence ceiling on architectural predictions.
