Understanding the Future of Humans, AI and Quantum Computers | Artificial Intelligence - Next Big Future

I believe it is likely that we will have 10,000 qubit quantum computers within 5 to 10 years, observes Brian Wang, business-oriented futurist, speaker and author of emerging and disruptive technologies.

There is rapidly advancing work by IonQ with trapped ion quantum computers and a range of superconducting quantum computer systems by Google, IBM, Intel, Rigetti and 2000-5000 qubit quantum annealing computers by D-Wave Systems.

10,000 qubit quantum computers should have computing capabilities far beyond any conventional computer for certain classes of problems. They will be beyond not just any regular computer today but any non-quantum computer ever for those kinds of problems.

Those quantum computers will help improve artificial intelligence systems. How certain is this development? What will it mean for humans and our world?

A Lot of Money, 
Many Approaches, Many Companies The other Google, IBM, Intel and Rigetti systems should be at 100-300 qubits in 2019. There will billions of dollar funding existing and new quantum computing efforts in the USA and China.

There will be a range of technologies beyond trapped ion and multiple categories of superconducting quantum computer technologies...

Will Powerful Quantum Computer Be in Everything? 
The power of quantum computers is such that most people do not have a use for quantum computers. 
We cannot properly form or understand advanced mathematics, physics or science to take advantage of quantum computing power.

Is computing power limiting what questions people can get answered?
