Quantum Computing if ever comes to a device like smartphones will bring path breaking discoveries in metallurgy , medicines and of-course AI.
At the end almost all of problems are resolved by continuous verification and validations.
Its just not cryptography thats the initial by product only.
In case a Quantum computers we get in today’s world(not talking about the babies IBM, Googles of world are experimenting right now with few cubits)
You will see materials as thin as human hairs able to work in extreme temperatures and can pick hundreds of tons, medicines which are highly advanced(kind of jaddi booties of old, pretty sure wherever those plants exists are basically quantim computers only working on room temperature)
Quantum computers are much more a bigger game than AI can ever be
Again, as i said, Qauntum computing isnt some new age magic - its main principle is to utilize the uncertainty principle re: electron spin and use spin direction to store data as well. As i said, what this means, is that quantum computer's application is pretty restrictive, its restricted to any application that requires variables to hold many multiple possible values and calculates them at once, instead linearly.
Currently, cryptography/cypher is the main application of the mathematics that is of 'x can be any value between 1 and 1 million, so can y, z, etc and they are plugged into a quadratic to supply value A = x^2+y^2+2xyz. I do not have any of the values of x,y,z, i just need to plug and play till i get answer = A that will match solution'. There may be other applications of it, i am sure and all of them will benefit from quantum computing.
But thats basically it - the nature of quantum computing means that you get massive advantage in any of the calculations where the variables are 'x = 1 to 1 million y = 1 to 1 million, etc'. You dont get an advantage anywhere else.
For eg, i am 99.999% sure, even 100 years from now, playing a video game on a quantum computer wont give any performance metric advantage over playing it on its the-then 100 year future equivalent of npn and pnp junction normie cpus.
In terms of processing a vast amount of singular data, ie, where you are fed variables x,y,z,a,b,c.....to infinity but each variable has only one value, quantum computing offers no advantage over standard flop speed.
Yes, it will be a game changer in terms of game theory, as it would lead to much deeper analysis from cpu of a complex scenario with data being fed to it, but it wont be like what most people think and suddenly make all normie cpu redundant like coal tech got made redundant by oil tech.
