Why is the recent news around the LK-99 room-temperature superconductor such a big deal? What material impact would those findings have on electronics and modern technology?

    Error correction relies on the majority of values to remain unchanged. I don’t think that assumption holds for qubits at room temperature. I’ll admit that I’m not well read enough to be certain.

    Room temperature superconductors would be great for a lot of applications, but I don’t think they do that much to enable quantum computing.
