Sorry, I meant a quantum computer that is actually built where these theories can actually be applied. Current quantum computers are as useful as current nuclear fusion reactors.

I am just over any sensational headlines from the past 10 years. They really need to drop a tweet like "Check out my quantum computer that is actually useful" like Sam Altman did with GPT to convince me.

At this stage, it's more like Musk and self driving cars, but at least QC around the corner is from mid 1990s

Well yes, but this is research - it progresses gradually and incrementally until eventually it is ready to be deployed. I for one am really interested in following these progress updates, rather than just being surprised when it finally drops. In particular, I find the recommendation to switch to quantum-resistant technology to be very important.
