In the case of quantum computing, there is a real meaning to it (in really vague terms, its computing using the suoerposition of quantum states to collapse extraordinarily complex problems down to a single answer). The problem rather is that right now companies are eagerly hyping this tech as being "just around the corner" when it's nothing of the sort (unless a bunch of massive breakthroughs suddenly turn up).
