Yeah for sure, it’s prolly a while until it’s developed into something feasible.

“So it could perhaps turn out useful or totally useless.”

That’s a realistic statement. Although the MRI thing sounds cool as well. I recall last year a big grant for a big 14T mRI project was awarded in the Netherlands, I wonder if this thing will make them reevaluate their plans. Before this becomes viable in such a setting I can imagine a lot more is needed, but it would be such a typical thing that they finish building a 14T MRI and then “hey guys we just finished this superconductor pipeline and stuff is much easier/better now!”

Don’t the current quantum computers also rely on superconducting materials that need to be kept sort cold?
