Feels like quantum computing is slowly moving from “cool theory” to something actually real.
In the last couple of years there’s been a lot happening better qubits, progress in error correction, big roadmaps from companies like IBM/Google, and just a ton of money going into it from governments + private players.
At the same time, it still feels very early. We’re still in the noisy era, scaling is hard, and most use cases are kinda… experimental.
Some people are saying we might see real quantum advantage in a few years, others think it’s still a decade+ away. So I’m a bit split on what to believe.
Curious what you all think:
- Do you see any practical use cases in the next 3–4 years?
- Which area gets impacted first — optimization, chemistry, crypto?
- Is this being overhyped right now, or are we actually underestimating it?
Personally, it kinda feels like AI before it blew up — you knew something big was coming, but not exactly when or how.
What’s your take?
