  Of course it is! But, can it catch up to the 60-year head start that classical computing enjoys? That remains to be seen.

  There is no known reason why it is theoretically impossible. However, despite many people claiming otherwise, there are currently no situations (other than contrived benchmarks) where a quantum computer is better than a digital computer.
