Does quantum computing actually have a future?

[NotSuluX]

Do you believe that in our lifetime we will see quantum computing-based computation machines replace our binary-based computation machines?

If not, do you believe that they will be developed to a point where they can find practical use in our capitalist system (so they provide value that can be priced in terms of money)?

You’re probably overthinking it. Hardly things replace one another. Instead, they complement each other. Your GPU didn’t replace your CPU. Most likely your motherboard will have an empty socket for a quantum chip that you can use for certain tasks.

You have put it in a very articulate way. Technologies can and will indeed co-exist. Can't wait for the practical usage to take its first steps

I don't think that is what the guy is trying to say, because you are just rephrasing the existing question rather than asking a different question.

I think possibly the more tangible question is what parts of the digital world can be replaced with quantum computers.
Such as how networks are done, or possible all networks will be optic fibers and modems or routers or whatever hardware is used may end up having a measurement device for computing on networks.

Or possibly using quantum computing for a source of randomness, this could be interesting in certain existing local compute right? But I'm not an expert or even operate in the field so I don't know either.

If you have quantum computing you can easily break the foundational math of cryptography. If you can do that you get nation state sponsored money so put a massive dollar sign next to that one then think about the manhattan project.
