   the effective processing power those machines have is heavily overstated

   as I understand it they're able to use and address a large number of 7-state qubits BUT we don't currently have a way to quickly change their states. last scientific papers I read said that each operation took around 30 seconds at best and it required manual work.

   I'd say they'll end up using lightwaves as the method to change their states.
