I love being proven wrong. I did indeed miss that news. I do think at that price that some people will buy one just because, but it's still not going to take the place of a home computer. The problems that they are good at are not what we use classical computers for. I can however see add-on chip sets (QPU?) that could be used for the few cases that overlap quantum computers and the problems that normal consumers have.

I'm still in the air about if they would/could be added to mobile devices. They have such strict operating conditions, that I don't see the cost of manufacturing and operating them as well as the space they take up being outweighed by something like using an encryption method that's not as secure from a classical point of view, but is harder for quantum, and using that to send data to a quantum node that passes it along to the end user with better encryption. But I leave that to those working on the bleeding edge and eagerly await all the cool stuff that they'll make.

This is a fantastic way to explain the difference between classical and quantum. It's so simple but gives a very clear and easy-to-understand comparison. I may borrow this for the future.

I think this comes down to it being such a complicated topic, that simplifying it to an easy-to-understand way requires losing so much complexity that it's watered-down to this meh explanation. People do understand it, but finding a way to turn the equations and theory into words everyone understands is quite hard.

They may have working QC's that they are doing research on/with, buts that's an enormous jump to having a complete consumer product ready for use by the general public.

You've probably already gotten a satisfactory answer, but just in case. It's not that it can't happen, but that it doesn't make sense to happen. In 2050, it may be possible to have one set up in a home environment, but they work in such a different way than normal computers and they have such a different use case, that they wouldn't make for a good home PC. It's like this: I can buy a demilitarized APC, but just because I can doesn't mean that it would make a better commuting vehicle than a normal car.

From my understanding and keeping it short and sweet. No. You will never run a QC as your home computer. They do have some very cool uses, but you will only see them pop up in a few places. Things like better computer security and more accurate weather forecasts. Most of the other stuff will be in ways that a consumer wouldn't really see.
