I disagree. A viable quantum computer would be a gigantic technological breakthrough of a kind we haven't seen in a long time.

It would. But right now there's no guarantee it will ever work. This should be a topic for basic research not for venture capitalist fever dreams.

These things haven't been able to factor 35 so far, despite decades of development

So we should just stop development on technology if it's too hard? Maybe stop attempting nuclear fusion as well? That has also been going on for decades.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

No, fusion research is just paper thin disguise for thermonuclear weapons research, so this will get funding no matter what. I mean here especially things going on in places like Z-machine, Laser Megajoule, NIF and such but not only these

Yes. Put researchers on it and politicians should stop using those unsure technologies as strawman against current feasible green technologies and climate friendly endeavours.
