What is your opinion on Quantum computing?


Do you believe it is viable, hyped nonsense, or some unknowable state between the two.

Cheers, =)

Mostly hype. Not a substitute for general computing. Will probably find some specialized applications.

It's viable and can be used today for free. It hasn't been used for anything of productive value as far as I know though.

It's definitely hyped just like any other emerging technology.

We're definitely several generations away from any viable productive uses.
