I'm sure this will end well.

So only a year behind Intel. 👆

IBM fella has captured:

quantum advantage

Google hasn't done anything but jerk themselves off.

Edit:
An experiment on the best super computer would take 10,000 years. The same experiment on the quantum computer...3 minutes. 😐

So has this actually happened and what is quantum computing?

it is still nothing to true consciousness as a human exhibits. Which is still unique in its complexity. Tbh the alchemical complexity of protein synthesis driven by respiration is still light years beyond anything a computer is able to do.

Regular computers have to use a 1 and 0, one at a time, so they can only be binary. A Quantum computer uses quantum entanglement to use either a 1 , a 0, both at the same time or any combination of 1 and 0. Instead of memory bits, quantum computers use qubits. Each time a qubit is added, the processing power goes up exponentially. I believe the Google quantum computer was either 48 or 54 qubits. I'm going from memory, so my actual "facts" may be off, but you get the idea.

Actually, Astner could explain the quantum computer way better than I can.

Yeah, I'm moving to Greenland just in case you're wrong. 👆

So basically it’s an exponentially computer that expands at an unlimited rapid rate.

Just make them solar powered.

What could possibly go wrong, Neo?

Honestly, ask Astner. And cdtm posted some in the CBVF off topic thread. My understanding is basic. Quantum mechanics gives me a headache because some of it is so counterintuitive. Particles popping into existence from the vacuum out of nothing, quantum entanglement where 2 objects can affect each other instantly over light years somehow, light being a wave and a particle, something being in 2 places at once, Schrödinger's cat, uncertainty principle...

Astner The Ghost Who Walks

The alleged quantum computer D-wave is special designed for a certain type of combinatoric optimization problems, and because of that isn't able to break modern encryption. The reason I'm reserved is because there's a lot of skepticism surrounding the information revealed, which suggests that D-wave behaves more like a specialized classical computer. But it's good that we have a lot of investors pushing the study of its technology and architecture.

Quantum computing is the processing of 0😖 and 1😖 using quantum mechanical systems where superposition and entanglement have important roles. The systems and physics used in quantum computing is fundamentally different from a classical computer, and can preform certain tasks classical computer have difficulties with. The strength of a quantum computer isn't that it makes more computations per second, but because it uses processing methods (through quantum physics) not available to a classical computer.

This topic isn't nearly as abstract as Badabing is making it seem, anything general can be outlined in layman terms. It's first when you try to figure out stuff about particular computation methods that things have to get a bit technical.

I'm going to reorganize this reply a bit, to make it more digestible.

When you measure the internal temperature of a steak, you're technically affecting the steak's temperature with the tip of the thermometer. But the effect is negligible.

This isn't the case when you're examining a particle, because in order to measure the position of a particle you have to interact with it with other particles, and the moment you do that you lose information (of its wave properties) because you've altered its energy-state through the interaction.

Say that there's a 50% probability that a particle is in position A and a 50% probability that it's in position B, here you would say that the particle is in a superposition of the two states, or that it exists in both places at the same time. This of course isn't the case, it's either in A or B it's just that it's not yet determined.

However, when you're dealing with large quantities (as you do in quantum mechanics) it makes more sense because the sample is distributed according to its probability-rate, so you can say that half of the sample would be in position A and half in position B.

When you pair create particles: say an electron and a positron (the anti-particle of the electron), and you let these particles separate by light-years. You can figure out properties of the positron by measuring the election. It's not that the information travels through space at warp speed, but that the information is correlated.

light being a wave and a particle

All particles and bodies of particles have wave properties. On a macroscopic scale at sub-relativistic speeds the wavelength is so small that it can't refract or exhibit any of its wave properties. As for what light is, we don't know, we simply know that it exhibits wave properties and particle properties under certain conditions.

They're preceded by a previous interaction between particles and brought about by a energy carrier (virtual particle).

Thanks Astner. 👆
