It will take some time before quantum computing becomes useful.
The intention is to address issues needing vast computing power with quantum devices instead of classical computers. Nonetheless, the era of noisy, intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices continues to this day. The long-term issue with fault tolerance, scalability, and commercialization is "noise." Right now, the main goal is to eliminate that noise as much as possible. Operating quantum computing platforms on the cloud could be a component of the solution.

I, Willhelm
The robot was allowed to move around again. Alice ignored it as she she tried to draw out a plan of how she wanted to make their garden. They had moved into the house two weeks after the baby, and she had been dreaming of this for years. The day she would be able to sit down, look around at a house that was hers and start to paint and dream however she wanted. She’d been starting at the paper for several minutes, but her hands couldn’t put anything down, her mind too distracted by the constant soundtrack of a baby crying, every other list she needed to complete flashing through like a million tv’s on wheels, the noise relentless and never ending.

The Legend
I woke up. I don’t know why, but I did. It was dark inside the house as I walked down the steep, wooden stairs. I could hear my brother breathing deeply in a room nearby, and also a owl outside.

A Techno Carol (with Apologies to Charles Dickens) - A Story in Five Parts
Part III: Jimmy woke up with shakes and sweat. He looked over at the window pooling the moonlight (not as strong as before). And then he looked over at his desk. All the things that should be there were back. There were no boomboxes, Walkmans or old computer systems. Everything was perfect.

FATED: Part 3
Councilor Ambross leaned back in his chair and gazed out at the warm, flickering night lights of Haven. Decades ago they had once imposed a mandatory curfew when crime ravaged so severely it felt as if they were in a war-zone. But then order was restored and the curfew was removed. People were free to live their lives in peace and without fear. There were still criminals, he supposed. It was inevitable. No matter how advance the civilization, there would always be those who enjoyed wreaking havoc. But then again, he realized, there would also be those labeled criminals due to circumstances. A knock sounded from the door though he continued to stare out into the City.

FATED: Part 2
We spent the whole day at the bedroom window, just waiting for the sun to set. I think we both knew that it was the last time we would ever see our beloved home. I hate to think what must've been going through Dex's mind: did he truly understand that we were leaving forever? Or did he still hold out some hope that one day we could return? Would he ever see his father again? Was he afraid that he could one day forget his father, or stop loving his him? One day, when he's old enough, I'll be sure to ask him. And to tell him the stories of our home so that he doesn't forget them.
