Yeah the problem is in the name and the marketing. People think it is meant to replace normal computers, but that is totally wrong. The simulation use cases as well as probing fundamental physics are far more immediate and exciting

It hasn't happened yet or won't happen any time soon, but if there's a chance RSA is going to be broken I'd rather be aware of the possibility 10 years earlier than 10 days after...
