Some of the papers on this site don't paint a hopeful picture that quantum
computers will live up to some of its biggest boosters insofar as crypto
and factoring problems are concerned. For example see:
http://feynman.stanford.edu/qcomp/plenio/plenio/plenio.html
Others seem down right gleeful:
http://feynman.stanford.edu/qcomp/bennett-nature95
They all seem to agree that practical quantum computers are still a long
way off.
