And it will be heavily regulated and controlled, for the foreseeable future.
The very first usage of the very first consistently usable quantum computer will be enormously huge, and it will be used by state actors as a master key for existing classical encryption, which will continue to be used and considered secure due to the sheer inaccessibility . And the very, very first thing they will do is turn it on the public.

you have no idea what the fuck you're talking about
it's been around quite a while and the feds are not going to let any of you fags gain access

mining bitcoins is not essential human activity.

They will be able to crash cryptocurrencies at will.
The following users say it would be alright if the author of this

you're uncles crash their cocks into you're anus at will.

Since when did they heavily regulate or control anything? Look how out of their control computers and the net became. Look how many people with encrypted disks they cannot crack that they have to resort to trampling on your right to remain silent or not incriminate yourself.
&TOTSE teaching people how to effectively rebel against the state since 1989, and back then they said nobody except the government would use computers. They arent as competent as you think.

Quantum computers require warehouse sized cooling apparatuses to prevent decoherence, and then a network of very specialised technical, engineering and scientific experts to actually build them, and the best of the best of the best, have only managed to do a calculation with 20 QBits.
So only huge corporations, academic bodies or states will be able to build them, and even then with difficulty. You can consider quantum computers to almost be like the same level as developing the nuke was: it's the next level of technology that will open every existing lock in the world, and the first to get it will have the world's secrets laid bare before them, and them alone. Old terrorist phones and data that has been encrypted? Cracked. Cryptocurrencies? Destroyed. Secure communications? Impossible without significant changes to classical encryptions. It will utterly change chemical engineering and nuclear physics too, more immediately than anything.
And they will regulate it the same way they regulate nukes: by banning anything that remotely resembles any subset of any sort of radiological weapon.
