“Quantum computing will remain confined to enterprise and research. The hardware requirements, error correction overhead, and cost barriers make consumer quantum devices a pipe dream for at least 50 years.”
Cloud-based quantum computing is already consumer-accessible via AWS Braket. You don't need a quantum computer at home — you just need internet access.
People said the same thing about personal computers in the 1960s. The miniaturization trajectory suggests desktop quantum by 2045.
Hybrid classical-quantum processors are already in early prototype. Think quantum co-processors, not standalone quantum PCs.
