>governments are cooking up exotic technologies behind closed doors which I personally tend to doubt.

You don't use zero days immediately. You stockpile them for when the time is right. A quantum computer is the ultimate zero day.

Maybe I should be more clear. Quantum computers already exist. Nuclear fission was already known about prior to the manhattan project.

When I say they’re not hiding “exotic technologies” I’m referring to things that would at a minimum win a Nobel prize. Alien technologies like antigravity or faster than light travel that people sometimes talk about. I am not even talking about things like Stuxnet which was impressive but not revolutionary.
