Quantum computing is cool, but a lot of the people who were hyping it last year were absolute charletons. They were promosing things that quantum computers couldn't even do theoretically let alone next year. Even the more down to earth claims were stuff we are still 10-40 years away from presented as if its going to happen next month.

Quantum computers are still cool and things worthy of research. Its going to be a very long road though. Where we are with quantum computers is like equivalent to where we were with regular computers in the 1800s.

The hype people just make everything suck and should be ignored.
