Quantum information science seems like something that will take many many years before it amounts to something.

I remember reading that a quantum revolution in computing was just around the corner 12 years (in 2007), and only a month ago has any sort of "breakthrough" happened (referring to Google's "quantum supremacy/breakthrough[0]").

Considering this glacial track record, I'm very skeptical.
