OOO, Quantum processor

[flamethrower205]

Saw this and it made me wet myself hehe, things are progressing towards a viable quantum computer.

Given that serious development has only gone on for the past 10 years, I can only begin to imagine what the next decade will bring in terms of quantum. Just as a fun little fact, a 500 bit system stores enough information to store info on every atom in the universe. Food for thought about what we can simulate with these things hehe. Their use are pretty varied I'd say tho.....despite what tom says, they could be used in ms word or spell check to speed up searches 😛. Many new algorithms are yet to be found, but given what we have now, the sky's the limit. Also as new forms of error correction (hardware and "software") are introduced- such as a fault tolerant factoring algorithm by urs truly- scaling becomes more feasbile.

What do others think about this I wonder?

They are still a long long way from making a useful one. You're not going to have one sat in your desktop for a long time 😛

I wonder how come there isn't any review from THG side? This should be some kind of a f... miracle in this industry clickyfindyouty. This should put an end to all those debates AMDvsIntel and say "It's all Atomchip, dude!" with their 6.8GHz cpu that is 256bit and so on.
And just what should this mean: Shock Operating [max]:2,000G ??

Wow... I was reading up on quantum computing before Christmas and it really is fasinating.. if deadly complicated and hard to understand!!

It will be a long time before every computer has a quantum processor at its heart, as people have said before its very difficult to error check and even write algorithms for a quantum chip.

It will be very interesting to see what comes of this!
