This part of the article makes me facepalm so hard, as someone who knows a little about quantum computing and a lot more about computer vision:

> Quantum computers operate at speeds unattainable by even today’s most powerful supercomputers, operations that are so fast, they can process millions of calculations in a fraction of the months, even years, traditional computers take.

Quantum computers can carry out some algorithms which normal computers can't, which can be much faster, but they're not usable for general computing so this statement makes no sense.

> They can even be taught and can recognize objects in images, a task standard computers struggle with.

Er... what? I wouldn't say that standard computers can do vision easily, but it's a problem of finding the right algorithms, not computing power.
