Quantum computing. The nuclear fusion of computers. I wonder how long they will be 10 years away.
Quantum computing is nothing like fusion, it's been working for 20 years, just at smaller scales.
A better comparison would be graphene. Graphene exists, we can make it, just not much of it. It won't change everything until we can mass produce it.
Fusion just plain doesn't work (for generating energy) in practice yet.
Honestly, this article makes some truly fantastic claims...
It waves every "too good to be true" red flag I can imagine. But if it is true, it's absolutely astounding. I mean look at the size of that package. And that for thousands of Qbits, no cooling required! So go ahead then, show us all this thing in action, go break some AES 512.
Now we just need to find an example where quantum computing is actually faster, and not just because only one of the 2 were optimized.
Do they submit kernel patches? /s
Will it run Doom?
Can it simulate every possible playthrough of doom simultaneously?
