    Yes, but are the existing quantum computer already used this way? My understanding is that this is still in research…

      The OP is playing hopscotch around your question. The answer is NO: Quantum computers as they exist today are just for fooling around. Present day quantum computers can be simulated on classical computers with reasonable performance. More qubits and coherence is necessary before quantum computers can be of practical use, i.e., “quantum supremacy”.

      The development is already quite advanced and it is already used for different tasks, it is even being commercialized. But of course, with this technology is not going to stop, see the development of PCs, from the first to today.

        well i believe that you need to control the subatomic particles, and in order to do so you need an “absolute zero” temperature, so i don’t think quantum computing will be as accesible as a PC has been.

          Absolute cero no, enough with -100ºC aprox. That can be done in a electronic way (laser, peltier,etc,), but anyway I think that the future is in cloudservices.

            -100C? that’s not as much as i thought…

            Cloud services powered in one way or another with quantum computing… i wonder how that would be. We already live in a cloud environment tho.

              No, these are pc terminals with access to quantum server for any kind of apps and services. A small look of this you can take in the IBM page, where you can use and test it for serveral proposits. They give public access to their quantum computer. But you can buy currently your own Qunantum PC for $5000, but as in the beginning of PC with only 8bit, this Quantum PC works with 2 qbits, but I think the development will improve very fast in near future. https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/a-desktop-quantum-computer-for-just-usd5-000
