Quantum computing isn't that difficult a concept. Another 50 years and we'll have it.
As far as a more advanced civilization goes, there is so much more for us to discover.
Imagine a transporter device like they use in Star Trek that would produce people it needed after a probe had landed on a habitable world.
You wouldn't have to send people into space. All you need to do is send the information to recreate a human once the probe lands.
Given enough time, we'll be teleporting around the Galaxy.
Or perhaps civilizations stop moving and simply become content with a humble life of living in harmony with nature.
