IBM Unveils World's First Quantum Computer That Businesses Can Use
Business Insider ^ | 01/09/18 | Rosalie Chan

Posted on 01/09/2019 6:25:05 AM PST by Enlightened1

For many years, quantum computers have been within only the confines of the research lab.

On Tuesday, though, IBM unveiled the IBM Q System One, billed as the first-ever quantum computer designed for businesses to put to their own use — though the company is clear that this is only the first step toward a broader revolution.

Quantum computing is considered one of the most promising early-stage technologies out there today. That's because quantum computers can process exponentially more data and have the potential to completely transform entire industries. For example, they could streamline aerospace and military systems, calculate risk factors to make better investments, or, perhaps, find a cure for cancer and other diseases.

"Data will be the world's most valuable natural resource," IBM CEO Ginni Rometty said on stage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where the IBM Q System One was unveiled.

Don't expect to install one in your office any time soon, though. While the computer is open to paying customers, developers will access its power from the comfort of their own homes or offices via the IBM Cloud.

Holy crap. Thanks. You just saved my life.

Say it ain't so, Laz. You too?

What makes cancer cells different than healthy cells in regards to alkalinity?

I can't give you a scholarly answer, but since coming down with cancer, I've spent a ton of time researching it.

The simplest way to put it is, cancer requires an acidic environment to survive. Unfortunately, our modern diets create the kind of low PH environment that cancer thrives in.

Simply raising the body's PH level to 7.5 (slightly alkaline) through diet or other means, creates an environment that is toxic to cancer.

This information comes from real doctors who have been successfully treating cancer patients for many years, and clinical researchers who have uncovered the inner workings of cancer at the molecular level.

What’s a “bit” anyway?

No, seriously, how is input and output to the REAL WORLD accomplished - furthermore -

- Given what you described, that isn’t “Quantum” (quantized, dealing with a specified or measured amount) computing, it’s back to ANALOG whose values represent an infinite number of states ...

Def - quanta - “in particular restrict the number of possible values of (a quantity) or states of (a system) so that certain variables can assume only certain discrete magnitudes.”

Good, good. Just increasing your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables may be all you need to boost your PH to safe levels.

Those who already have cancer have to be a bit more aggressive.

Thanks for your reply. Have you noticed any other benefits from your baking soda, lemon regime?

Ahhh ... that’s where Schrodinger comes in.

It’s all in the “interpretation”. Richard Feynman made his reputation on that, and he never claimed to understand it either.

Yes, I have.

I have an aggressive tumor that has almost completely closed off my nasal passages. When I stay steady and keep my PH at 7.5 or thereabouts, my sinuses begin to open more. A couple of times recently, I've been able to breathe normally, which is an incredible relief.

I can only think that means the tumor has slightly shrunken. That's a common result for cancer sufferers who are using the protocol.

I'm hanging in there. Battling some tough health issues, but I think I'll come out on top. Just gotta keep fighting.

Business was in the dumper all last year, but we're starting out 2019 really strong. I'm crossing fingers that it bounces back to normal.

Hope all's well on your end. Good to see you.

Apple Cider Vinegar, diluted in water, too. Borax [Sodium Tetraborate (Decahydrate or Pentahydrate)], very highly diluted in water, too.
