Do you think these things will ever be real? opinions anyone?
Do I have to explain what they are? Well more precisely what the
wish list for the folks who hope to build it is.
Their advantage is clear. I predict that in ten years from now, the govenment of every developed nation will grant a "phone" to every citizen born. This "phone" will be able to hold ten billion photo's, every word spoken by a being, the library of congress and be presented in an "AI" persona. That is to say that when you yank your phone from your backpack and ask it anything, it will answer you. If it is busy, it will let you know that you are "such a turd".

No reason. The technology for radio readable scanning bar codes will eventually be employed to scan into the implanted chip, the "feedback" demanded of the master "computer", ie, the "phone".
I see a chip just behind the ear that will do a whole bunch of good stuff. As a matter of information... Six months ago, I recommended any "wanna be" billionaires to research and invest in companies pursuing this line of research. I did. I "might" live to become a billionaire. I'll let you know. Or not.😛

in your head: BTW first, SVW, there are no quantum comps ATT,
there are bits and pieces, a flip flop here, a memory there, an
error corrector over there, but nobody has a full comp yet.
But the number one reason there will be no QC's in your head:
They (at least in THIS century) ALL run at about 10 degrees Kelvin.
Like close to absolute zero, so don't hold your breath! Well with that
chip you would hold your breath for a looong time🙂
I heard that if quantum computers would soon be powerful enough to generate a photo of the universe.
Basically, it would generate every possible 640x480 photo (for arguments sake) using every different combination of pixels. Those photos would reveal photos of people you've never been with, photos of crimes you've never committed, all sorts of things, including a photo of the universe.
That's a lot of photos, though, too much rubbish to sort through to find anything useful.
(2 ^ 24) ^ (640 * 480) = something not even Mathematica could work out.

sticky point of actually making a quantum computer in the
first place.

Seems to have the conceptual difficulty of being able to predict randomness.
And tonight's winning numbers are ... oh wait, you already know that.
I am still grappling with the main concepts of quantum computers.
It seems to be able to do incredible calculations because its like
having trillions of computers in parallel because the superimposed
states allow separate but connected calculations to go on at once.
Its like looking at yourself in a room of mirrors but with mirrors,
everything is exactly the same, but in QC differant things are going
on in each "CPU" One problem I have conceptualizing this process
is how does the comp know when the answer has been arrived at?
If you take the factorization of a huge number, on a regular comp
you have millions or billions of intermediary results, none of which
is correct till the right one is found by brute force and checked out.
I don't understand how you have all these superimposed states
A) know what each of the other states are doing, and
B) how does it know when its done? It must somehow have a list
of all the possible combinations of factorization somehow buried
inside such a comp. But how?

Many universities and private businesses have working hardware. Is it of commercial value yet? No. But it exists.
Some quantum computer research uses biological machines and run at room temps.
As to holding my breath... don't hold your breath. I have learned long ago that the future is NEVER what we expect. With no exception.

How long has it taken to get to the current standard of I.T technology? Look at a PC from 10 years ago. 10 Gig hard drive, 32 MB of memory, 10 MB/s data transfer rates at the most. That's when it all became financially viable. Look at us ten years down the line. There is nothing stopping this technological leviathon other than the physical restraints of the properties these machines are made out of ie, the thermal and conductive properties of silicon. Now these restraints have been pushed out of the window. This quantum technology is going snow ball out of all proportion. Once it too becomes a commercialy viable solution, it will rocket. Give it 10 maybe 20 years and stand back and prepare to be astounded.

Why would I want the library of congress ?
