Optical quantum computers VS Superconducting quantum computers VS Electron-spin quantum computers
One of the main problems of superconducting quantum computers is that it is necessary to maintain a very low temperature (near absolute zero).
Such cooling is very expensive and complex.
Why, then, ...

What is the best way to use loop statements on a quantum computer?
I am interested in solving a time dependent linear partial differential equation of the form $Ax=b$ which, in classical computing, would amount to looping over solutions of $Ax=b$ where $b$ is updated ...
