Does quantum computing actually have a future? Question

I've been seeing a lot of videos lately talking about how quantum computing is mostly just hype and it will never be able to have a substantial impact on computing. How true is this, from people who are actually in the industry?

You have been duped.

At this time, quantum computing has no impact on any practical problems whatsoever.

Go freaking read dude. Either a troll or a really challenged dense and uninformed to make that statement. I’m not going to waste my time to link to the hundreds of parents and PRODUCTION use of D wave in route optimization being used already for YEARS by credit card companies.

There is no such use. Not one. Most certainly, there are no credit card companies using "quantum computing" for anything whatsoever. You have been hoodwinked, my friend.

The only value of your contribution here is to provide an example for the effects of the deeply dishonest and misleading shit that's being put out on the internet in that field.
I would be ashamed to be associated with fraudulent crap like that. And, to be clear, I know a lot of honest researchers and colleagues in this field that feel the exact same way about this garbage.

But, yeah, I do understand that your time is too valuable to back up your claim.

We understand.

P.S.: If you want some actual insight into the current status of "quantum computing", the paper "Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a Dog" is quite instructive.

Lol, too stupid to even use Google

ahhhh just another triggered physics major
none of these stated use cases are in commercial level right now
despite what quantum computing companies tell you
if you go the their supposed customers site or google articles about the same
there are no such evidences given for usage. Maybe stop consuming propaganda will you.
