I just thought I'd point out that Quantum Computers won't be Effecting anything, unless you're asking if they'll be used to create special effects in video games.

What quantum computers are more likely to do will be Affecting video games. remember kids, you AFFECT(verb) something in order to create an EFFECT(noun).

 Erm, didn't you use it wrong in your previous sentence, then? Regardless, many sources interchange the two; effect is used as both noun and verb, as is affect.

 I'm aware that it (QM) doesn't just happen; it's 'present' at all times, it just become much more noticeable under certain conditions. The Wikipedia article and even your own video (was it you?) on the subject supports the assertion that the Quantum Computers need low temperatures. In the video, for example, Dr. Seth Lloyd mentions keeping the contents under liquid helium for cooling; though no mention is made as to what temperature it'd have to be.

 

Of course it happens on the subatomic scale, and though I don't claim to be an expert, Quantum Mechanics is also fundamentally consiting of waves. Nobody really seems to understand exactly of what, though. The way I think of it, QM is just a representative model that works for our current purposes and is not the end product theory of the universe. Very much like the classical theory, its principles are most likely going to be encompassed by a grander scheme.
