    Some marketing blub that was probably the first thing that came up on a Google search isn’t going to convince me that are are any practical applications of quantum computing in the near future other than breaking cryptography.

        I am actually a bio-chemist by training and understand perfectly well… but quantum computing isn’t going to help with that any-time soon.

          So, your argument is that quantum computing isn’t going to help until quantum computing is sufficiently developed. You truly are a master of tautology. Exact same argument applies to breaking encryption by the way.

            No, my argument isn’t against making civilian research into quantum computing, it is against military / surveillance funded research into it and making it into a dick-measuring contest between China and the US.
