Export controls on quantum computers?
#2
Any worry about quantum computing is far eclipsed by the thing people should really be worrying about, and this is Artificial Intelligence.  When you couple quantum computing and A.I. together, well, then you really have something to be worried about.  But the difference is, A.I. can destroy civilization with or without quantum computing.  The same cannot be said for quantum computing without A.I.

The other point I think is important to note here is...there is an assumption baked into this whole export of quantum computing (or restrictions thereof), and this is the assumption that the countries wanting to control these exports believe they will be the ones to invent it.  If they aren't the ones to invent or refine it, then they will be the ones on the wrong side of the export restrictions. 

I haven't really been able to come to a conclusion about the realities of quantum computing.  That is to say, I can't decide on what impact it will have on mankind, if any, in a notable fashion.  I think the verdict on this is still out.

In an abstract sense, think of it this way...if I tell you I can come up with the answer to a question before you think up the question, then how much will you trust my answer?
