Thank you for your kind words. You have the power!

The secret is in the simple joy of discovering something positive, something good. Everybody can look around and find good if they look, and a lot (or all) of it is just plain funny.

Here we are with some super-duper advanced knowledge and technology, yet it boils down to a 1 and 0 that is whatever someone observes it to be whenever?

I mean come on... ya gotta laugh. :)

What then is 1,000 qubits? Depends on what base. Maybe it's nothing then, heh.

How about that Descartes fellow? He was way ahead of his time in finding that [0, 0, 0] coordinate. Worst combination lock code ever!

See what I mean? Just take one look at the guy. I sure wouldn't mess with him. Check out that list of his notable ideas!

It's easy to get sucked in. ;)

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......

These guys seems to have opinions on that... Leonard Susskind: Quantum Mechanics, String Theory and Black Holes | Lex Fridman Podcast #41

I’m thinking that it will be much smarter than me. Or should I say, “than I am.”

LOL!

"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."

Yup. Things that I've read about it are mindblowing.

IBM Is Now Letting Anyone Play With Its Quantum Computer

Google Claims Its Quantum Computer Can Do The Impossible In 200 Seconds

"Google claims it has designed a machine that needs only 200 seconds to solve a problem that would take the world's fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to figure out."

This new awesome computing power will allow a computer to scan your entire body in one nanosecond. Three seconds later it will tell you which bathroom you are to use.

I bet the weather dept using the new computer will not get tomorrows weather correct.
However some person with arthritis in the knee will do a better job.

right now it’s all a matter of opinion on what could be done with Quantum computing...what we do know for sure is that major companies and major venture capital firms are pouring huge amounts of money into their development.

We also know that China is pouring huge resources into Quantum computing....and looking to steal anything we develop.

So I think the major players are aware of the unlimited potential for Quantum computing...much of that will be fantastic but a lot will probably be done with evil intent....We’ll see how it plays out but I think we can agree it will play out in the coming years..

Well, it’s colder than ‘super cold’, but not as cold a ‘extremely cold’.....................

Eventually there will only be ONE bathroom for ALL of us to use...................
