[size=150]Quantum Computers Will Make Your Laptop Look Like an Abacus[/size]



"The race to make the first quantum computer is becoming as important as the race 75 years ago to get the first nuke. It could change the balance of power in politics and business."

Exciting stuff but I can't help but think that this is a technology that we as a species are not ethical enough or smart enough to administer or control responsibly. I guess we will just have to wait and see.  ac_unsure

That article had a lot of fear mongering bullshit in it but with it, an exciting leap for mankind .... in 15 to 20 years.

In what way is the information given "fear mongering"?



Just curious.

Did you not read the article?  All the things we can do with it - mention of nukes and other shit.  Fear fear fear.

So you don't think that the first to develop this as a practical technology won't have the cyber equivalent of the "Big Stick"?



BTW, if we had quantum computers would it stop us from seeing this?
