This article suggested advanced quantum systems might eventually improve climate and weather simulations significantly.

That actually seems like one of the most practical long term quantum applications because atmospheric systems involve absurd amounts of interacting variables.

Even modest improvements in forecasting could help agriculture, disaster planning and infrastructure management enormously.

Do people think weather prediction becomes one of quantum computing's first major practical successes?

Weather forecasting already improved massively during the last few decades.

People forget how unreliable forecasts used to be
Coffee first. Questions later.

Climate modelling feels like exactly the kind of complexity quantum systems may eventually help with

The practical value would be enormous if predictions become noticeably better

I like these kinds of applications more than vague 'quantum revolution' marketing

Part of me wonders how much of weather chaos is fundamentally unpredictable regardless of computing power

SlowSocket

Infrastructure planning alone could benefit hugely from better long range forecasts
