Reply to comment by dynedain in can someone explain the difference between quantum computing and classic computing in simpler words? how can quantum computing benefit us from a consumer perspective? by village_aapiser
I love being proven wrong. I did indeed miss that news. I do think at that price that some people will buy one just because, but it's still not going to take the place of a home computer. The problems that they are good at are not what we use classical computers for. I can however see add-on chip sets (QPU?) that could be used for the few cases that overlap quantum computers and the problems that normal consumers have.
I'm still in the air about if they would/could be added to mobile devices. They have such strict operating conditions, that I don't see the cost of manufacturing and operating them as well as the space they take up being outweighed by something like using an encryption method that's not as secure from a classical point of view, but is harder for quantum, and using that to send data to a quantum node that passes it along to the end user with better encryption. But I leave that to those working on the bleeding edge and eagerly await all the cool stuff that they'll make.
