Bill, Bill, Bill. Stick to stuff you know something about. IF quantum computers ever become realistically powerful, they will have VERY specific uses. They are not suited for general-purpose computing. Nobody even quantum-adjacent disputes that, as even the most cursory reading of the research papers will tell you,
Note also that quantum machines with the many-thousands of qubits needed for real use have been "almost here" for quite some time; most people who aren't scamming money admit that they don't know when or even if they're actually achievable. Which doesn't make the research a bad thing, of course. Just keep your hand on your wallet.
