Post by: quaz0r on October 07, 2015, 07:58:00 AM seems like theyre always making some supposed crucial breakthrough. i'll believe it when i can own a quantum computer, which of course will not actually happen in my lifetime ;D

Post by: 3dickulus on October 07, 2015, 03:27:08 PM indeed, figuring out how to code for it will take some time but it's interesting to observe the evolution, a device that switches using one electron is going to be fast, very fast. If these devices can be produced with current technology in manufacturing, then it might be happening sooner than you think, unless you are very old, over 50? ;)

Title: Re: Crucial hurdle overcome in quantum computing... Post by: Tglad on October 08, 2015, 06:05:47 AM There's a paper showing quantum computing is no different to analog computing. There's nothing different or mysterious that you can do with it. It is just an analog computer but faster.

But once they have been able to develop a quantumcomputers things such as other hardware and security should be improved too to prevent problems. (I guess qubits can make the hacking of systems used nowadays much easier and faster, I would say that these should be improved first.) As for the hardware I think RAM should be improve to make quantumcomputers work. |
