Quantum computing would be revolutionary in certain fields. It could completely change certain calculations we do. I do run stuff that takes weeks while using several GPUs, that could plausibly be done much much faster with quantum computers. Accurate and complete quantum algorithms for such calculations are not yet available, but I know there is people working on it and making progress.
What we're missing is the computers. Kinda difficult to do all this quantum computing when you have no quantum computer. Or when your quantum computer has like 8 qbits and after 100 operations all you get is noise.
