  1. A Quantum device designed to solve the equation of a common or critical encryption is the logical use of these machines for governments. They already spend a large amount of resources to operate supercomputers to do the very same thing and is doubtless where the primary development is going to drive. Just look how governments prevent better encryption from proliferating commercially and try to regulate against it, this shows that they desire strongly to maintain supremacy and will continue to spend billions to keep that supremacy. Regardless of how difficult it is it is considered to be a matter of national security. Like the space race, this will ensure that resources will be assigned despite how difficult or distant the goal. In the 50's people dreamed of manned missions to the outer solar system and obviously we ended manned missions after reaching the moon. I believe this will be the same case, many quantum devices occupying a massive building and costing a lot of money just to break encryption of the level to achieve the government's goal is likely as far as it will go and it is as unlikely a dream of quantum processors in our cell phones now as it was to dream of missions to send humans to Titan in 1960
