Does the programmer of the near future need quantum physics?

Question

Programming

Actually a subject. Does it make sense for them to spend time on additional study of quantum physics for a programmer?

Answer 1

In terms of applicability, no.
From the point of view of breaking the pattern in the perception of the world around - yes. You will have to learn and come to terms with so many revelations, such as:
One electron crawls into two holes.
While the photon flies, it does not exist.
Absolute vacuum has energy.
The photon changes the direction of its movement instantly.
Well, etc.
