The problem/answer is that everything around you is implemented with
quantum computers.

To borrow quantum computing elements from everything around you
and then make a computer that does useful things is where
half the problems lie. The other half of the problem
is how to feed everyday problems into a quantum computer
and get an every day compatible answer.

There is nothing certain about quantum reality, and that makes
the task of building quantum computers a very real uncertainty.

My idea was to do away with building quantum computers with quantum
computing elements and replace it with digital logic (like the way we do 
away analog computing elements with digital computing elements) and see if 
something useful can be salvaged.

The answer seems to be yes - 5% extra silicon for digital version of quantum
computers in exchange for 10x to 100x performance improvement.
But software is a lot harder to build.
I would like to say how its done, but you would have patent trolls
on your back in no time. Particularly from USA.
