This may be the case. Quantum computing is interesting, and with the IBM QE I wrote a couple of simple codes to prepare entangled states and to flip them in a Hadamard gate. The QE runs at 50 qubits, which is a narrow path so to speak. It is also an ungainly thing that sits in a cryro-tank. Maybe diamond with nitrogen atoms at specific locations will lead to practical q-computers. The big issue needed to be cracked is quantum error correction, where progress on this in time may lead to more practical quantum computers or processors that might in the future enter into computers. It is possible in a few decades that quantum computers might begin to appear all around us. It will probably take a fair amount of time. Sabine's assessment of quantum metrology over quantum computing is probably correct in the next decade or two.
