    Some marketing blub that was probably the first thing that came up on a Google search isn’t going to convince me that are are any practical applications of quantum computing in the near future other than breaking cryptography.

      If you don’t understand why solving problems like protein folding is useful then what else is there to say to you.

        I am actually a bio-chemist by training and understand perfectly well… but quantum computing isn’t going to help with that any-time soon.

          So, your argument is that quantum computing isn’t going to help until quantum computing is sufficiently developed. You truly are a master of tautology. Exact same argument applies to breaking encryption by the way.

            No, my argument isn’t against making civilian research into quantum computing, it is against military / surveillance funded research into it and making it into a dick-measuring contest between China and the US.
