Personally I find quantum computers really impressive, and they havent been given its righteous hype.

I know they won't be something everyone has in their house but it will greatly improve some services.

Quantum computers are now where neural nets were in the 1980s.

Somewhere around 0,0 or 1,1

There are amazing possibilities in the theoretical space, but there hasn't been enough of a breakthrough on how to practically make stable qubits on a scale to create widespread hype

That's what they said about non-quantum computers 80 years ago.

There are some things which might never be feasible no matter how much human ingenuity you throw at it, because the physics says so. FTL travel, for example.
