> I am in my late 20s doing PhD research at a prestigious lab running superconducting quantum processors, and in my view I will be very lucky if I get to see an actual fault-tolerant quantum computer of millions of qubits during my lifetime.

Where would you say QC in 2024 is equivalent to in time to where classical computing was?

I would say we're not even yet at the late 1930's level of computing yet. As in 1940 is when the first British Bombe was installed, that was an electro-mechanical computer designed to crack the German codes. I think it's obvious to even casual observers of Quantum Computing, we're not yet at the 2024 equivalent of that for QC.

So is the current state of Quantum Computing at the level of the early 1930's? Or 1920's? Or not even that? Maybe QC is only at the level of [Babbage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage)'s [Difference Engine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_Engine)? If so we have the equivalent of another century of development before we can create the modern day equivalent of whatever an early 1940's [Bombe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombe) would be like.
