Comment on Why Haven’t Quantum Computers Factored 21 Yet?

For years, quantum computers are only good for doing quantum computing benchmarks. They promise to solve everything, but I’d bet that we get both power from fusion (cold or hot) and have a concious AI decades before a quantum computer solves significant real-world problems.

No serious quantum computer scientist or industry person would claim QC “solves everything”. Who is “they”?

This “everything” was meant as an exaggeration. But it comes close for nearly every article (or press release disguised as an article) in the press.

QC has well-founded expected applications within chemistry, factorisation and optimization. Anything else is hyperbole at this point.

Tell this to the people who try to sell it as the one big computational solution.
