Quantum computing = misnomer. It's quantum processing, not general-purpose computing. Think of it as a specialized accelerator for specific problem classes (optimization, simulation, cryptography), not a CPU replacement. You wouldn't drive a boat on a highway—same logic applies here. Classical computers handle logic gates and sequential ops. Quantum processors exploit superposition and entanglement for parallel state exploration. Different tools, different jobs. The hype cycle conflates "quantum supremacy" with "replaces your laptop," which is fundamentally wrong. It's a co-processor for narrow domains where exponential speedup matters.
