Reply to comment by Unable-Fox-312 in Launch of Aquila, the first neutral-atom quantum processor with up to 256 qubits. by steel_member

That was my first thought when I read the "not going to replace standard computers" comment. If/when room temperature quantum computers with sufficient miniaturization exist, they'll probably be co-processors for their optimal calculations. This would be like today's neural processing units that help with AI/ML tasks.

First I think we'll see QaaS. I think we'll see that regardless of its potential for consumer applications, but that's where the early building and testing for those would happen.
