@david_chisnall I think it's unlikely there will be many quantum computers. The recent factoring cost guesstimates show time-to-solution for a 2x larger machine being far more than 2x shorter, which suggests it's always more cost-effective to scale-out a shared machine.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange Chemistry, being amenable to partially-FT methods, embedded in existing flows capable of using bounded-error advice, etc etc, can (I hope) use all that spare capacity that gets built to enable a 10min time-to-factor for the 1 time a year it matters.
