"Scientists suggest a desktop quantum computer based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) could soon be on its way to a classroom near you." That looks like a long way from actually happening.
If my understanding is correct, sufficiently powerful Quantum computers will render a lot of the current security algorithms useless. Not sure if the particular ones used for Crypto currencies are vulnerable but could, in theory, allow bitcoins to be stolen!

I can't deny that we're only on the thresold to integrate this technology in our desktops , I only meant to air this on the forum, cuz I found it really stunning... BTW , they're announcing it for only $5,000 https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/a-desktop-quantum-computer-for-just-usd5-000
