It just strikes me that the pictures of this quantum computer look as different from today's computers as the computers from 50 years ago look different from today's computers. 50 years from now I assume our grand kids will be walking around with quantum computers on their wrists or embedded someplace whining about how long it takes to solve some mystery we can't even think about at the moment.

        The goal for governments to have this computer is to destroy

        $10B to build one.  The goal of IBM is to sell the patent
        rights.  They need a big win and this may be it.
