>They are extremely useful and do things that digital computers cannot do.

But that is false. A classical computer can simulate a quantum computer. Performance is the difference, not inherent ability.

>The cynicism in this thread is crazy

The cynicism stems from people telling others that practical quantum computers will change the world for at least a decade. Even the URL invokes deep cynicism in me, as it randomly combines Quantum computing with the current hot thing. When will openAI switch to quantum computing for their LLMs? Next year?
