It's been a while since I've looking into quantum computers.
But as far as I understand you can't really compare them to normal computers.
You can't just say they're much faster better normal computers, that's not how it works.
Their computation power is insanely much higher than even our best normal computers, but it's hard to get the actual answers back out.
If they manage to get a solver to run on a quantum computer, then yes, it can probably solve poker, or very close to it.
It would probably solve for 10 sizing's on each street and every possible flop within a few seconds.
The real question is, will they ever be able to get this kind of software to run on a quantum computer.
I believe they will, but as far as I know we're not capable of that just yet.
That being said, aren't there real time solvers being used already?
With the right setup you could probably run a range vs range on a specific board pretty quickly not?
I also don't think poker getting solved will be an issue.
Look at chess, computers have been way beyond human players for a good while now.
But chess is still very popular, maybe even more popular than ever?
Actually completely learning solved poker would take years and years of study, probably a lifetime.
I doubt it's possible for a human to play perfect NE poker, even if they had instant-access to all the answers while studying.
