  They’re not for running games faster, but they could potentially find two large prime factors pretty fast.

    … potentially …

    Useless today, unknown tomorrow.

      I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.

      So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I'm a time traveler.

        Great ! …and you run this code on a quantum computer ? … and it did indeed save time (over classical) ? … and you and your group published a paper highlighting this ?

        Only I’m not sure of any paper published ever doing that and I seek to find one that do this without ambiguity since many years now. Of course, it is not my domain and I may be completely mistaken.

        Please forgive my tone and arrogance - - I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings - - but it’s been promised for a long time now and I’m growing impatient and skeptical.

        Thanks for your time, take care.
