Currently, it seems that quantum computation is still in the very early stages of research, with no commercial solutions on horizon (D-wave is a questionable candidate). Nevertheless, some market researchers estimate that in a few years the quantum computing market will be worth over 25 billion USD: http://www.marketresearchmedia.com/?p=850
How justified are such claims, in your opinion? When will we see useful quantum computers? Will the field of quantum computing enter a sharp funding decline if a useful quantum computer does not appear soon?
