The reality of quantum computing could be just three years away
Quantum computing has moved out of the realm of theoretical physics and into the real world, but its potential and promise are still years away.
Onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, a powerhouse in the world of quantum research and a young upstart in the field presented visions for the future of the industry that illustrated both how far the industry has come and how far the technology has to go.

Our local notes guru retired last year. At times that absence was very noticeable.
I have a few tricks to make it behave but if it goes wacko, the fun really begins.
We already know the answer: The answer is to protect Hillary above all else. It’s her universe and we merely orbit her. The President must be impeached and jailed because it was HER time!
You forgot Lotus123
The words “Vince Foster” probably carry a lot of weight among certain higher circles in addition to the massive power of blackmail.
Can someone splain to me what Quantum Computing is?
Flying cars, too.
