summary
Quantum computing uses entanglement and superposition to solve classes of problems differently, but current public systems top out at 16 qubits and require a huge dilution refrigerator — the visible chassis is mostly cooling, the quantum processor is a credit‑card‑sized chip. Claims of quantum supremacy (Google Sycamore) run on contrived benchmarks; useful, purpose‑driven quantum for crypto breaking or specialized simulation appears in an estimated 3–5 years window. Prepare software to swap algorithms per NIST post‑quantum standards.
