Yes, quantum computing is the whole ballgame and we should be ahead.

To be fair, it is a marathon not a sprint. And it is hard to compare us vs. them -- only that they've announced a communications success that would put us behind them, but only by a little.

QC is fundamentally different from traditional computers, and engineering software will be radically different and we're not going to see quantum computing "chips" anytime soon. They're going to be large devices that require supercooled environments and entirely new programming paradigms. So, realistically, you have to think practical devices are a ways off.

I don't think there is cause for concern either in supercomputing or quantum computing at this point. China is throwing everything it has at grabbing a lead, but it is easy when you can just steal the technology. (Read about the bullshit China pulled on the company American Superconductor a few years ago, maybe 10 years back now. Just stole them blind).
