I'm expecting the announcement of a fully general programmable Quantum Computer by March/April of 2025. They'll say it's "just" a prototype, and others will argue you need a million qubits and all that. Well, I've seen Quantum Computer researchers say they'll reach a million qubits by 2026!
It's exciting that full programmability in quantum computers might be within reach as soon as 2025! Although many argue that we’ll only see their full potential with a million qubits, each prototype is a step toward commercialization and tackling issues like error correction and qubit stability. Examples from the history of classical computers show that prototypes are crucial - IBM in the 1950s also started with limited models that eventually revolutionized multiple industries. If they actually reach a million qubits by 2026, we might witness a whole new era in computational technology.
