True nature often lies hidden in a thick fog. You don’t see it, but that doesn’t mean it’s unimportant.
We are used to such situations in quantum computing. For example, the qubit is in an invisible state of superposition — a complex linear relationship between its basis states. But you can’t see a qubit in superposition. Once you look at it, it inevitably collapses into one of its basis states. What you see is either 0 or 1.
But that’s not the only fog surrounding quantum computing. A misty veil covers the applications of quantum computing. When you look at it, it seems like there are only two answers.
The first is that the only thing quantum computers are helpful for is breaking encryption. But once they do that, we will have improved encryption to be unbreakable. In essence, quantum computers are useless.
The second answer says that quantum computing will solve every problem of humanity. For example, it will prevent global warming, feed the hungry, and enable Artificial General Intelligence.
