I'd say very slightly past that. Quantum computers do work right now, but it's the same way the Wright brothers' first plane worked: as proof of concept and research, but not better than existing tech for solving any problems.

And it's not that they fail to meet expectations of the designers, as far as I know they do exactly what they are built to do as well as predicted with the tech we have. Just the press is expecting more.
