[Red Badger]

I actually have that game......................

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Reminds me of an old Bill Cosby routine;

"Riiiight. What's a cubit?"

[srmanuel]

I read an article about Quantum Computing recently that stated if and when Quantum Computing becomes real and functions in real world applications the uses are unlimited.

For example, all current military grade encryption could be broken in a matter of a few minutes...

I will wait until they are on sale in 2024.

But mostly pron.

will it be able to solve Pi?

The first qubit computers I've seen had each qubit in a separate liquid nitrogen container separated by several feet strung down a hallway.

Have they done anything to compress the size?

Also, I believe that qubit computers can only solve certain types of problems because very few algorithms have been developed that will allow technologists to take advantage of the qubit architecture.

MMMM prons!

LOL, I like Stewie.

Well, now they are down to being in the same room!........................

Or the square root of -1?..................

Qubits are the quantum equivalents of classical computing bits, able to be set not just as a 1 or a 0, but as a superposition state that can represent both 1 and 0 at the same time. This deceptively simple property has the potential to revolutionise the amount of computing power at our disposal.

I don’t know what this means, but it’s interesting!
