That your professor isn't focusing on them is okay. That can be someone else's job. Need to make the things work first.

As far as the sensitivity. Yes they're more sensitive than ICs. My point was before clean rooms, that level of cleanliness was unheard-of. That quantum computing is another step up isn't surprising. Consider the conditions for some of the most advanced particle physics experiments. Room drafts have nothing on the LHC.

Agreed. What's wise to do is always focus on where we are, instead of admiring others. I'm trying to adjust my mindset. And I'm also expecting more related hardwares or environments for quantum computers.
