Broadly speaking, we’ll see exponential advances in simulation/modelling capacity especially related to medicine/industry. Possible advances in space exploration (think: newly discovered materials, energy efficiency). State actors will use quantum computing to crack modern encryption as one of the earliest applications.
I think it’s way too early to talk about any of that, a lot of the stuff quantum computing promises is still only theoretical and so far there hasn’t been a single “real” quantum computer that behaves is it does in the theory.
IBM’s roadmap is pretty aggressive, with users projected to start running “large-scale quantum-centric problems by 2029”
With respect to theory, Google’s 105-qubit Willow processor performed a benchmark task in 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest classical supercomputers 10 septillion years to complete.
I’m not sure this stuff is as theoretical or distant as it might feel.
