This reads like a puff piece to promote IBM and Google.<p>It's unlikely that quantum computing will define our future more than AI, since AI is already a part of everyday life and will continue to grow. Quantum computing, on the other hand, has no known practical applications as of yet. The "play with a quantum computer" links offered by the author will show just how useless a quantum computer is today.<p>Of course, I don't have any proof that quantum computing will never be real, but there's quite a bit of evidence to support taking a doubtful stance. Even D-Wave, the largest and most successful supplier of quantum computers, has to admit that what they make isn't really a quantum computer at all!
