A seminal moment in the quantum technology field just happened: Google's team of scientists have simulated a hydrogen molecule from its quantum computers, a breakthrough that suggests it could “simulate even larger chemical systems,” writes one of Google Quantum’s engineers, Ryan Rabbush. The search engine’s achievement underscores the technology’s potential as Rabbush posits it can “revolutionize the design of solar cells, industrial catalysts, batteries, flexible electronics, medicines, materials and more.”

I won’t hold my breath.

Just in time for GTA VI.

ROFL!

[Reeses]

Analog computers are back!

[Dalberg-Acton]

If it runs on Windows 10, it’s gonna suck.

And I’m almost finished developing a quantum App called ShrinkanBack ...

Like a magician’s hanky it has a cord off one corner that plugs into your phone. Wrap an object in the hanky and start the App.
Shrink what you like to the size of a pea. Go where you want with a pocket full of peas.

Put the pea in the Magic hanky...
Tap the app and your object is back to the same size!

My more expensive model is the size of a blanket so I can take my Ferrari on my jet.

I eventually plan to purchase Google and give it a Conservative face lift.

Rabbush posits it can “revolutionize the design of solar cells, industrial catalysts, batteries, flexible electronics, medicines, materials and more.”

"And more" - like tracking every person on earth in real time.

Unless that's already done, in which case they'll start taxing our breaths...

I’m still waiting on my Flying Cars
,as predicted by George Jetson!
Oh, and will Robot Maids be covered under ObamaCare?

[UCANSEE2]

So... in the future everything will be made out of simulated hydrogen ?

Imagine artificially hydrogenated water.

[Paladin2]

Can’t we just go 10 yr forward and drag that tech back to September 2016?

[Paladin2]

I’d settle for my $2500/yr savings...

[dfwgator]

Oh get to the point. It means even more realistic porn.

[Paladin2]

Those puppies are QUICK!

[Paladin2]

I’d suggest that a Shrunk Google should be dismembered. Everything past the great web search function needs to go in the trash.

[Jonty30]

You never know. I saw a video where they captured the movement of light with an analog camera.

[gigster]

Norden Bombsight? Yossarian would approve.

[dr_lew]

I won’t hold my breath.

I agree, and I hold steadfast, with my Ph. D. in Physics, that the whole idea is a crock.

[gigster]

Beware of inhalation of DiHydrogen monoxide!

[VanShuyten]

So, does this mean that all of our problems will be solved before or after the Terminator?
