A big leap in processing is great news, but we'll probably find new problems that require another magnitude of processing power. Maybe not so great news for the gaming industry, already moaning it costs too much to fully utilize today's hardware.

I wonder if quantum computing can make true holographic displays a reality, since those require a insane amount of processing.

Also good news for the environment I guess since when it's all working these quantum computers should only need a fraction of the energy to run compared to today's 100 to 500 watt systems. (If they can solve that problem of needing the world's most powerful freezers)

Btw what happened to photonic computing. I thought that was to be the next big step in computers.

Holograms can be calculated using hogels to decrease processing so the only real problem is making a holographic video itself. Autostereoscopic solutions are way more realistic.

Making holographic video has been done. Autosterescopic 3D will always have the problem with the focus point being wrong.

Um not really, unless you are ok with a .1 fps display. I'm not sure how much you actually know but the second point is blatantly wrong.

These guys have it at .5 Hz

It'll get faster though.

 

As for the second point, with current 3D technology your eyes are focused on the screen, not at the 3D image in front of or behind the screen.
