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.

    Quantum computers have already had its hype, so plateau of productivity. It’s just that the plateau is really low.

      There is a difference between feasibility hype and adoption hype. The hype about it being possible at all has passed. But the true hype relevant to the graph is when it is implemented in the general economy, outside of labs and research facilities.

        Yeah they’re similar to fusion. The hype perpetually goes up to the first peak and then back down to the left while they keep working on it

      This is the equivalent of saying AI already had its hype because Isaac Asimov was popular.

      People are aware of the term quantum computer and basically nothing else. We’re a decade pre-hype at least. Only a small handful of specialists are investing in it.

        The picture only shows one hype cycle. AI has been through multiple hype cycles. Same will happen with quantum computers, once a new major breakthrough is reached.
