> they're just very low power,

I guess you meant to write high power as in high electrical power consumption? Or low power in the sense of low processing power? Anyway: Performance per Watt is probably pretty bad for current quantum computers ;)

"Processing power" is colloquially the term most people I know use to describe computers of varying capabilities.
