If this is what we hope it is, we're seeing one of the hugest advances, technologically, in human history. Quantam Computers are completely the imagined device of a civilization at least a century ahead of us, and the stuff these computers may do is pretty vast.

So I'm also taking a Wait and See approach, as we still are in the stage of "too good to be true".
