Not to be snarky, but how is it comparable to 60's computing? There was a commercial market for computers and private and public sector adoption and use in the 60s. | ||

There is private sector adoption and planning now of specific single purpose focused quantum devices in military and security settings. They work and exist although I do not believe they are installed. I may be wrong on the exact date, as my classical computer knowledge isn't spot on. The point I was trying to make was that we have all the bits we need. We have the ability to make the photonic quantum version (which spoiler alert is where the focus needs to move to over the qubit method of quantum computing) of a transistor, so we have hit the 50's at least. The fundamentals at this point won't change. What will change is how they are put together and how they are made durable. | ||
