This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Personally I find quantum computers really impressive, and they havent been given its righteous hype.
I know they won't be something everyone has in their house but it will greatly improve some services.
One problem with QC is that besting classical computers has been a moving target, improving exponentially for many years while QC was being researched. It's going to be a long, slow climb up the slope of enlightenment as it reveals its potential.

That's what they said about non-quantum computers 80 years ago.
There are some things which might never be feasible no matter how much human ingenuity you throw at it, because the physics says so. FTL travel, for example.
Far left. We know it'll be important, but the only people with any idea why are experts who don't do hype. Nobody's out here going "our shoe company needs to be quantum!" because the tech barely exists.
I'm not even sure quantum computing will ever... scratch that. I'm not sure how quantum computing will be desirable on consumer hardware. Presumably some engineer will slap their forehead and sketch out trivial hardware eventually. Every serious computer could have a QPU alongside the FPU and GPU. But I have no idea what you'd actually do with it, as some rando.
Quantum programming is like finding hideous math proofs. Maybe an absolute wizard publishes a brief but impenetrable paper that solves exactly one NP-complete problem, or makes 'it tries every value at once!' how things actually work. Otherwise you'd only activate that one square nanometer of silicon when you found a twenty-year-old RAR file and wanted it cracked in your lifetime.
