Personally I find quantum computers really impressive, and they havent been given its righteous hype.

I know they won't be something everyone has in their house but it will greatly improve some services.

Your use of Cryptography is probably roughly on the level of "Having a strong password."

The application of quantum computers will largely in in BREAKING security. You're not going to have a quantum-security module in your phone or home computer.

Not necessarily we could get better more complex security at boot with a qbit TPM chip. Every time you log into a secure boot environment you are solving a hash which is in the wheelhouse of quantum compute.
