Hopefully we have an FR Quantum Computer Whiz who will give us a status on the State of the Art in Quantum Computing. The last time I checked in we were still building cryogenic Quantum Computers.

That has to go. We need inexpensive room temperature Q-bits to make these machines practical. If that happens is will be "Katy bar door the door".

Microsoft wants to turn quantum computing research into real products

Which is the only way to recover your research costs.

This article makes it sound like quantum computers are still in the future, but they’ve been around for a few years. D-Wave is the big name in that realm.

And, yes, the NSA has them.

I figure Microsoft will need quantum computing to keep the bloat of their operating systems and applications from turning the next-gen CPUs into the computing equivalent of a 386 performance wise.

Great. Quantum BSOD at a distance.

Think of what this will do for cat pictures and porn!
