Do you really think they're going to get this amazing world's first quantum computer and go, yep lets use it to destroy that Bitcoin thing? Even if it was powerful enough to do that. They'll use it for important stuff like spying on our own citizens, developing better ways to kill things, and supporting the military industrial complex answering scientific questions that have never been answered before about physics, space etc.
FYPFY but no I don't think Bitcoin will be a high priority
Confirming. Don't worry though, I doubt they have any universal quantum computer with more than 32 qubits right now (not necessarily a least upper bound).

I think everything has its time. More people will be involved in it more results will be.
Is it anywhere simplified?
What physical laws are holding us back?
The two main branches of research into realizing a quantum computer are photonics and nuclear magnetic resonance. Both of which have their issues, but there's been some interesting research in converting entangled states of one "medium" into another, if you will. The main issue is the fact that we will never have a truly closed quantum system. Between external potentials and pre-existing external entanglement, you introduce bias towards certain states, which ruins the computation. Scaling up the qubit registers and circuits only amplifies this bias further. Error correcting circuits can help with this, but the circuit complexity then increases accordingly (I believe this is a n*log(n) relation IIRC).

You guys have seen the videos of working Jalepeno miners, right?
