WHY do we still have so many PRC-sponsored science PhD students in the USA..?
They’re spies and theives, hobbling America:
GET RID OF THEM.
And Bezos and Amazon are their cheerleaders. What an amazing coincidence. It’s as amazing as finding chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant!
WHAT IS QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY?
Quantum technology, also known as quantum information technology, seeks to harness the peculiar laws of quantum mechanics to build more powerful tools for processing information. Scientists are using the technology to develop new kinds of computers and communications networks, and sensors for imaging and measuring things in novel ways.
What is quantum computing?
A quantum computer uses quantum bits, or qubits, to process information in new ways. Qubits, which can be made of atoms or subatomic particles, behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics.
What makes a quantum computer different from a regular computer?
As Nobel laureate Bill Phillips said, quantum computers are as different from today’s digital computers as today’s computers are from an abacus. Existing computers store, process and transmit information by breaking it down into long streams of bits, which are typically electrical or optical pulses representing a zero or one.
Quantum bits, or qubits, can exist as zeros and ones at the same time, or in any position between, a flexibility that gives them the potential to perform many calculations simultaneously. Some physicists compare them to a spinning coin that is simultaneously in a heads and tails state.
Do quantum computers already exist?
Early prototypes do exist — IBM offers access to its online — but they are not yet more powerful than existing computers. Many companies, including Google, Microsoft, Intel, Rigetti and IonQ, are developing quantum computers. Universities and militaries in many countries are also investing in the research.
What hurdles do researchers face in developing a quantum computer?
To get a fully functioning computer — a goal still a decade or more away, most scientists agree — researchers must coax a large number of qubits into working together efficiently. That’s difficult because qubits are finicky and have the propensity to stop functioning at the slightest disturbance, such as a minor change in temperature.
What new feats might quantum computers be able to perform?
A fully functioning quantum computer has the potential to be transformative. The exponentially greater calculation power could help identify new chemical compounds to treat intractable diseases, and eliminate traffic snarls by predicting and managing the flow of vehicles.
However, the machines may also be able to crack all existing forms of encryption, which is a major worry for militaries, governments and businesses that handle sensitive data.
The Chinese are at the forefront of STEALING tech from us.
No, duh...
and our idiot politicians go on and on about China gaining the advantage in solar power. Yeah, that’s what we should be worried about.
Talk is cheap
Who cares.
American soybeans and crops are mighty.
Finding enough kids that are good at and want to study STEM is like the military trying to find kids that are fit. Chian is way ahead in STEM studies, while US kids are busy getting their degree in transgender studies. That’s why there are so many Chinese in Universities and in the Corporate and Federal R&D programs.

...and our dumb @$$ political leaders from both sides of the aisle, past/present congresses, presidents, business leaders have allowed the communist to infiltrate every aspect of American society to further their broad espionage efforts.
We just can’t be any more stupid.

If we spend more time AND MONEY on real science and less on BS global warming scams and other liberal hysterics - we could still win this one...
