Where there is a market, there is (or will be) a producer will to service that market.

Totally agree. The question is —how fast.
computers were in use by large corporations in the 1950’s. But they didn’t get to the consumer market until 30 years later in the 1980’s.
So there are two questions asked here. when will fully functional quantum computers be available for large corporations? the answer seems to be sometime in the next 5-10 years. Then when will quantum computers be available for consumers. If conventional computers are any model then about 30 years after corporate quantum computers are available -—consumer priced quantum computers will become available.
Given that increased computer speeds have a way of collapsing time frame for events—you might cut 30 years in half to 15 years.
So if quantum computers become available to corporations in 2025—if you add 15 years — you get 2040 as the date personal quantum computers become available to the public.
That makes the arrival of personal quantum computers coincide with the singularity
I know what you are saying but the market was slow to service the consumer market because they didn’t think the consumer market wanted PCs. That is not the case now and the previous model has been invalidated. Within a year, two max, of a corporate release there will be consumer quantum PCs, in fact there will be “consumers” that buy “corporate” machines and we will be able to watch online videos of people starting them up and using them for some idiotic purpose or another.
