Like what exactly? Do you understand that science is self-referential? Nobody from the quantum computing world will confirm that they're crooks and those physicists who claim that QC is a bubble are pronounced dorks.
I don't have sources, only arguments.
I'm not in anyway claiming that quantum computers should not be developed: they might have uses in material science and in metrology. I'm highlighting the predicament that we have here: if the expectations from QC were real, nobody would invest in it, but if the expectations are not real, the investments will experience a sudden drop which will stop the research for a while.
