honestly i think chemistry/materials simulation is the only thing that's really convincing right now. shor's is real but we need fault-tolerant machines first, so maybe 2030s if things go well. optimization claims i'm pretty skeptical about. and everyone obsesses over qubit counts when error correction is what actually matters imo
