Nothing new can excite me now (except for maybe Raquel Welch in 3D)
The guy must be trying to raise money for his company. A month ago I was at a 2 hour overview by one of the top professors in the field. Quantum computing has got a _long_ way to go before it can be used on real world problems.
Sort of like fusion - it’s been 10 years in the future for the last 50 years.
It’s probably a long way to go before it can match the performance of high end supercomputers. But I did read today that they now can get a sustained performance of 1000 qubits, although I don’t know how to relate that to a sequential computer performance.
Crosshairs made with the hair of virgins.
Uhm...that was a joke right?
There is a difference between doing calculations and doing useful calculations. Name a problem quantum computing has solved.

I never stated any opinions concerning the utility of quantum computing so I wont defend it.
I thought you were making a joke about a camera actually catching “the movement of light” but I guess you were being serious. That is even more amusing, carry on.
They'll just patent oxygen because--"intellectual property". That way they can raid your house for pirated dvds and fill it with nitrogen when they leave--because "intellectual property".
No worries, mate. :)
It’s a very interesting story, imo.

And which presidential candidate do we want protecting our interests as this ramps up? The media maestro, or the one who doesn’t know what “wipe a server” means?
That does happen in a tornado which about what we’re talking about —only faster and more powerful. about like trains vs the horse and buggy.
Is “Ow! My Balls!” to quickly follow?
