Yeah, understood. I was just saying that because it doesn’t seem technically possible now, don’t discount that it could be in the future. Whether it would be useful, that’s another debate. But I have a hard time believing it has practical uses. If it does though, the innovation will be rapid like the shift to silicon transistors (assuming it is even possible).

    Oh I'm not saying it is technically impossible, it's the opposite actually, it's developing extremely fast. And usefulness and having QCs in our homes aren't that far apart to be honest. Why would John Doe have a QC at home if he's not trying to create a new medication, or simulate a molecule? Probably for the same reasons he doesn't have an MRI machine in his living room :)
