Yes. Though it's more than a one dimensional spectrum:

There's also the orthogonal possibility that quantum computers don't work, or don't work well, and eventually we'll learn some new physics that tells us why. (Given that orthodox quantum mechanics says that quantum computers work, but so far they've been hard to do. It's most likely 'just' engineering issues, but there's still the possibility of something deeper.)
