Don't think like this. You are an expert at quantum computing. 99% of the population doesn't know what quantum computing IS. You are probably 3-4 sigmas above the mean, which basically qualifies you to do anything. If you don't think of yourself as particularly smart, it is probably just because you are in contact with people who are 5-6 sigmas above the mean.
Probably shouldn't say someone "probably" has an IQ between 145 and 160 unless you have pretty good evidence.
Well, according to this popular science article, the average physics Ph.D. has an I.Q. of 143+.
