Deep Dish Fuckfest posted:

the kind of problems it solves quickly are limited but they exist. it doesn't apply to any np-complete problem (as far as we know) so it's not like it makes everything run in polynomial time despite what the uninformed and terminally optimistic might believe

now if you're asking whether a good chunk of the people trying to get money to build one are grifting then the answer is yes

it's real useful if you want to simulate quantum systems. are you working on molecule interaction simulations for novel drug discovery? great, quantum computing is your friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkzazWRCdWw&t=920s

most of us dont do that though

while such algorithms definitely exist, that poo poo is pure marketing fluff

if your threat model in 2023 involves an adversary who is willing to expend quantum computer time to decrypt your poo poo, you are squarely on the mossad end of the mossad-not mossad spectrum
