  I don't think she's wrong. There are only two really useful applications for quantum computing that I can think of: breaking cryptosystems and simulating chemistry. The former loses all commercial value once you can do it, though it would of course be interesting to intelligence

  Excellent article about quantum computing, hype and promise here: https://www.bloomberg.com/...

  @skdh I still have the following complaint about the QC hype people. It has been many, many years now since a QC running Shor's Algorithm factored 21, that is, 3x7. Breaking RSA requires factoring numbers on the order of 2^4096, but I will settle for a demo that a QC can factor 3…
