I think the biggest problem with all things quantum is that it is still in its infancy. I suppose one could imagine it like the beginning of the computer age when massive machine filled with valves did simple instructions - or perhaps even in the tyranny of wires era.
If somebody said then that computers would revolutionise the world and be fitted in (almost) everything, there would be a lot of skeptism at that point. Remember IBM who said they wouldn't sell fifty home PCs and gave Bill Gates his opening.
I feel that at some point there will (probably) be revolutionary new thinking in the quantum field. An Einstein or Hawkings of quantum mechanics will turn up - with all things probable! I would say it is just a matter of time.
