You know smart people like you make me happy. ......
God Bless.
Now Scotty, give me more power. .... Lol.
Online in 2023, stolen by China the next day.
About a trillion yottabytes.
Just watched that episode a few days ago. ... Tom rules.
I am committed to a million times more processing power than that by 2022. Doesn’t mean I will get there.
Not really. There are whole classes of algorithms that have no advantage being run on quantum computers. Things like simulating chemical reactions is where they'll really shine.
Today’s quantum computers require very delicate, ultra-cold setups ...”
How cold is ultra cold, absolute zero?
Lotus Notes ID files might survive.
The quantum computer might adequately run Notes for once.
A little sarcasm.
I despise Lotus Notes.
Vapourware.
Knock-offs at Harbor Freight a month afterward.
20% coupons to boot.
The ISPs will slow it down to 386 speeds for some reason.
Anything complex, like protein foldings and pharmacy drug production or manufacturing of metamaterials will really be where quantum computers will benefit.
It will reduce costs of research
No you silly! It will be a powerful new video game that takes graphics to a whole nother level! In this coming new powerful supercomputing era, the player will be walking down a hallway or corridor and be shooting at alien zombies! Can't wait!!!
You remind me of back many years ago when the city council was debating cable deregulation. One of the councilmen declared that we would be able to have 500 channels! A lady went to the mic and asked,
"When we have 500 channels, how many of them will be Geraldo?"
Impossible!
Their Indian programmers are not smart enough.
IBM cannot be trusted. They’ll turn the tech over to the CCP.
And if someone has been recording traffic, they can go back and decipher it. The Brits used computers in the early '70s to crack WW2 era Soviet radio communications with its intelligence agents in embassies. They had been taken down, but never decrypted in the intervening 25+ years. Computers made it possible to do so.
You are thinking of applications we already know about, but with a excuse the pun, quantum leap in computer power things that either were to complicated or had never been thought about will become reality......
Great now the bits are bi!
