Maybe they should stick to making engines. Quantum computing simply cannot "take over" , we don't even know if it has a useful place in computers tech at all.

The algorithms used in modelling fluid dynamics clearly have a place and testing on existing quantum hardware has shown there is a clear benefit/potential benefit to running certain algorithms on quantum hardware over supercomputers.
In this case Rolls-Royce will be using an abstraction layer built by Classiq that effectively lets developers write simulations that can be split between linear tasks on a quantum computer and non-linear tasks on a classical computer.

that s a pretty niche application, sure. But to claim that QC will "take over" from classical computing in our phones is just nonsense

That is my bad. I phrased it badly to fit it in the character limit. What it means by takeover is before quantum takes over as dominant in solving those niche problems
