Quantum computing is just a very weird, niche and very expensive way to do a very limited range of things. Some scientists are skeptical they'll ever get to a usable point.. bc you need a ton of qbits for something interesting, there's not way to initialize / return to a blank state (qbits have infinite memory of the past) and to read the solution you must collapse the wave function to something. So even the output is probabilistic. Stuff is werid.
