I'm not going to pretend that I am that knowledgeable on classic computing history from that time period. I was primarily going off the fact the semi conductor was built in the late 40's, and I would say we have the quantum version of that in both qubit and photonic based computing and they work and we have been developing on them for some time now. The key difference is that there are many more steps to get to the stage of making them useful. A transistor becamse useful extremely quickly and well in Quantum computing, these just haven't quite yet.
