    Thanks for this productive discourse, not ad hominem at all. You’re welcome to criticize my views and I’m happy to learn. And I am doing my physics masters, so I think I am no complete idiot. But this is also not productive.

    Edit: I’m focusing on cosmology, I’m not claiming to be a quantum computing expert. That was just my last state of knowledge and I’m always happy to learn.

      Focusing on what QC will do to encryption tends to mean you got most of your knowledge about them from pop sci articles. As you can see from this very thread, you’re hardly alone in this, but it remains a big red flag for people who don’t know what they’re talking about on this subject.

        Maybe I just mixed up the fact that proper industrial use is vastly overestimated/overhyped with that there is little use. I will do some research.

          The pharmaceutical use alone would be revolutionary. There’s a whole other discussion about how the pharmaceutical industry will continue to overcharge for drugs, but that’s separate from the technology itself.
