    Same thing with fusion reactors.

    All the current machines out there are for research purposes only. Nobody can currently power an arc furnace of a steel mill using only fusion power. Sure, there’s been some progress with fusion and quantum computing, but it takes a while to get to an actual practical application of the technology.

      While I am convinced that fusion will get somewhere practical in the near future, I have serious doubts on the practical viability of quantum computing.

        So, do you think that quantum computing has a much longer way to go?

          I’m quite convinced that quantum computing will lead to exacly nothing. My bet is that the error factor will grow larger than the result scope, and not a single thing they try to stabilize will ultimatively make it viable.
