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.
For example, all current military grade encryption could be broken in a matter of a few minutes...
But mostly pron.
will it be able to solve Pi?
Decoding military stuff? That does not sound good. Sounds like technology that should be kept out of the hands of certain people or countries.
Yes, but Q encryption would replace the old encryption.
And I just “typed” this in with a pencil! How cool is that!?
Not really. There are whole classes of algorithms that have no advantage being run on quantum computers. Things like simulating chemical reactions is where they'll really shine.
Lotus Notes ID files might survive.
The quantum computer might adequately run Notes for once.
A little sarcasm.
I despise Lotus Notes.
And if someone has been recording traffic, they can go back and decipher it. The Brits used computers in the early '70s to crack WW2 era Soviet radio communications with its intelligence agents in embassies. They had been taken down, but never decrypted in the intervening 25+ years. Computers made it possible to do so.
Yup. Things that I've read about it are mindblowing.

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."
