Is it really viable or just hyped?

It's still in it's experimental stage and cannot be used to calculate reliably. If i had to compare it to classical computers, they're in the transition between vacuum tube machines and the microprocessor right now.

You know it's fake because they made it look like some sort of ancient religious artifact.

when will CS majors be required to take quantum computing classes?

The technology is a long way away, but there's a lot of good CS, physics, math, chemistry / materials science, etc.. happening in service to realize a quantum computer and make it useful. I would say applied physics / materials and error correction + decoding / algorithms research have been the most important applied and theoretical efforts in the field right now. There's a lot of progress and the field picked up heavy momentum in the mid 2010s when the funding worked out to realize the more scalable architectures (printed superconducting qubits through JJ's namely) even though ion traps have been a mature technology for a while now.

TL;DR progress is steady but don't listen to popsci hype. Every big expert in the field is thinking 50-100 years in the future - we're still in the infancy of this technology.
