People think quantum computing is like general purpose computing, but it is not really going to be a game changer for General Purpose computing because the problem is the energy budget even if you solve the technical issues.
It takes a lot of juice to solve even a basic problem using quantum computing, so they will be targeted at very specific problems like crypto, molecular chemistry, medical or physics, etc., etc.. They will change these very niche areas, but they are unlikely to be used for day to day problems like current supercomputers or server farms.
Quantum computing is where the AI really goes to the next level and now we are starting to think into the future.
That being said, i have to laugh at your bold comment. Reminds me of the initial comments about computers from IBM boss in the 40's.
"I think there is a world market for about five computers.
Once the cat is out of the bag....thats that.
