I would like to think that in 10 years I'll be buying a used 64-qubit card on Ebay, like a 2GB video card. What will be the equivalent to gaming which drives this tech to ever-higher performance? DIY protein folding life hacking?

FreeCAD has some advanced capabilities but is not a great package to start on. I've created some weird shapes in it but would never have been able to do it if it were not for a fair amount of SolidWorks experience. You might try usin
