This book has focused on quantum computing in the gate model, and it has assumed that this knowledge will be useful. However, this isn't guaranteed to be the case. Experts worry about the following:
- The quantum computing field is over-hyped
- The lack of human diversity in quantum computing experts will harm progress
- Our progress will be hindered by a lack of fundamental understanding of quantum computing
- The pace of progress thus far in quantum computing will continue, meaning important developments are a long way off
