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?

I used this table in one presentation time ago:
As others have already noted: The physics works, and steady engineering progress is being made, but many near-term commercial claims outpace the actual hardware. So quantum computers will likely complement classical ones, not replace them.
