Clickbait Bullshit.

Quantum computing is never “taking over”. It is only beneficial for specific types of problems. It will make those problems solvable, in the sense that classical computers can’t solve these problems in useful time, ever, in theory (no matter how fast our classical computer is, it can never solve this specific type of problem in reasonable time, although it can solve any problem a quantum computer can given enough time).

So there will always be “classical computers”, for all the problems except the specific types that require quantum computers.

This is how I’ve understood it.

Someday if the rate of improvement in “traditional” computers gets slow enough something else may gain enough funding to push it out (graphene or whatever else), but not any time soon and not quantum. Quantum computing a horse that’ll run one type of race extremely well but not all races.

"...to speed up simulations for fluid dynamics and new materials."

Are you willing to admit the clickbait was in your head and you should read the whole title?

Ha I think you might be right! That’s a very not optimal title. But I jumped the gun.
