SUMMARY
Quantum computers are currently under research and are not expected to replace semiconductors within the next five years. Significant advancements in quantum computing technology are still needed before practical applications can be realized. The transition from traditional semiconductor technology to quantum computing will require collaboration between physicists and engineers. The timeline for such a shift remains uncertain, making the prospect of a "qPhone" premature at this stage.
