A quantum computing future is unlikely, due to random hardware errors (and failures)

[erek]

"While quantum cryptography holds some promise if the problems of quantum transmission can be solved, I doubt the same holds true for generalized quantum computing. Error-correction, which is fundamental to a multi-purpose computer, is such a significant challenge in quantum computers that I don’t believe they’ll ever be built at a commercial scale."

In 10 more years I see them seeing a large uptick for large agencies, NASA and the CIA and the likes. 50 years after that who knows it may be in my pocket Binging cute cat video’s.
