So what's the timeline for a quantum future? 20 years? 50 years? 100? My concern is that it's primarily a materials science problem (hence, it is going to take a very long time).

If you specifically mean something that can embody Shor's algorithm, it is fairly clear these days that a fundamental breakthrough is required. So the timeline extends from tomorrow to never.
