I think we will get some “break throughs” in Quantum Computing that Google execs will assure us makes their company worth five trillion dollars.

    A little notification on your bank’s account website that says “your account is now Quantum Secure?”

    that’s still meaningless until somebody proves that Quantum computers actually can break pre-Quantum encryption in practical human time frames (like minutes/days/weeks) and non-state actors can purchase such hardware.

    Would be funny if we ended up in a future where the FBI smugly said “We don’t need your password, we’ll just Quantum in!” and the Quantum computer averages 1.5 years on most iPhones.
