Quantum computers are to computing what bitcoin is to currency. They attract intense fascination but probably won't scale to work in practice. (Ironically, working quantum computers would likely destroy cryptocurrencies.)

They would only really make a difference in certain fields like cryptography.

They would also dramatically speed up machine learning, automated programming, materials simulation and many other things. It would be a major game changer.

I'm interested in what they can do for AI, but I doubt they will improve our chances of achieving AGI.

These are probably entirely unrelated questions. AGI will happen without quantum computing.

It's something I see from time to time: claims that the extra processing power offered by QC's would pave the way for AGI, as if that were the issue obstructing AGI research. It's almost like saying a quantum computer would solve the Halting problem. Misses the point altogether.

Much of current machine learning is fancy simulated annealing though, and if you could somehow entangle all your weights so they settle on an optimum without painstaking sequential series of adjustments...
