I don’t pretend to understand the intricacies of Quantum Computing, some of the advocates for it have said that a fully functioning Quantum computer could be up to 1 millions times more powerful than modern computers of today.
Think of all current encryption methods being hacked in a few minutes.
Think of the complexity of the human body and all the different kinds of proteins, now think of modeling new drugs and other aspects of the human anatomy.
IMO, it’s pure science fiction at this point, just imagine in 20 years or more with fully operating Quantum Computers combined with the advances in AI in 20 years and it’s pretty scary what could be done.
Maybe showing a little respect for our AI machine friends might be a good start.
The biggest problem is decoherence where even a stray molecule or photon will drop the superpositioning and entanglement. There are competing technologies on how to best accomplish this.
Encryption analysts know that every locked door will soon be opened.
