How far are we from quantum computing? What companies will win the race? Also,u how many ways are there going to be to get to quantum computing? Any thoughts and information on that are going to be use cases the leaders in developing and using it? Thanks
I think we are still a few decades from serious practical use. Quantum computing may mostly be a solution in search of a problem, similar to blockchain (Proof of Work / Proof of Stake) technology from cryptocurrency.
QC's ability to crack encryption still requires you have access to the data sources reliably, and the energy/cost/cooling requirements are still very substantial even for basic quantum computing. Defense and financial firms seem to be leading the way into trying to figure out what it can be used for..
