Quantum Computing for consumers

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Seems we are now much closer to quantum computing for consumers then many thought. This is eventually the way we must go as X86 computing and traditional means of making silicon cpus and other such related hardware is reaching its limitations of how much more we can pack into the same amount of space while achieving higher performance.

Do read the fineprint. This chip is pretty much useless for any actual computing, and it needs to run at a near absolute zero temperature.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I been saying it for YEARS.
As we will reach those limits sooner then expected. Which is why to me I don't see the problem of staying on Win10 for most PC hardware for the next few years.

My Dad was saying this back around 2010 even.

What am I going to do with quantum computing? Calculate the mass of pebbles?

It could be turned into something used for conventional computing to where we won't have to be tied down into an architecture based around cores and threads. Such a cpu could calculate millions or even billions of operations simultaneously

say goodbye to any passwords when quantum computing exists
whats the point when it tries every combo at once and gives the correct source info

Yes, except the answer it provides may not be the one you want, so you'll have to keep running the calculation until it gives the correct one.

They already want to and are moving away from traditional passwords towards other means as it stands now. Pretty soon 2 or 3 step verification will become standard

Quantum computing won't kill the clasical one, or at least for now because it is preaty useless and unreliable. Encoding and decoding from such machine is a mess.
But it is almost the same thing as an analog computing, so...

[Chaosolous]

I do not think Quantum computing is practical for what we use PC's for today.

Ah then finally they might be able to get Star Citizen to run smoothly, and maybe Crysis as well

This is really exciting though, I think the leap in technology is going to be able to run hundreds of frames with minimal additional gpu. In fact, due to this boom in computing power, there's going to be some interesting gpu developments with quantum computing as well, and we're already pretty close to making a perfectly realistic simulated 3d environment in VR, that could easily be run at probably 8k, 100fps or more, no problem, on a quantum computer. It would probably tear into thousands of fps at that point. I think we'll get to a stage in consumer computers where you won't necessarily need a major upgrade for a decade or something once it gets off the ground

I'm looking forward to it, when I first heard of quantum computers all I could do was dream of them one day being consumer friendly. Just like our previous iteration of classical computers, they first started off being the size of a refrigerator and eventually got to the point where they were a size that could be marketed to the public.

To this day I am still skeptical on how they'll be able to do miniaturization with this technology, but it seems like if they can get superconductors to work at temperatures much higher than absolute zero, and the hardware itself can be machined in a way so as not to be so fragile or sensitive, it should be feasible.

Electromagnetic noise would be the biggest issue I think when using a quantum computer, so the containment of parts may still be a challenge. These computers have to basically be in a concrete room with metal chambers. But yeah if the miniaturization problem is addressed and hurdles are overcome that would cause interference in the functionality of the quantum processor, then we would have some serious technological breakthrough. It would be huge....easily replicate neural networks very accurately and in a detailed manner, with a botnet of quantum computers.

So having a functionally useless chip that makes a proof of concept means using an OS after EOL and being insecure?

Thats a weird train of thought you have there.

thats how q bits would work, they can be in both 1 and 0 states at the same time, and the calcs would be done simultaneously,
if a username and password was tested using q bits, every username and password combo would be brute forced in one operation and could output the entire list of results at once

This. Mostly.

Quantum computers can not be used for everything. They can only perform a certain type of mathematics that is pretty much useless for the consumer. It can be used for code cracking and a number of other techie stuff, but it can not be used for traditional computing, like your word processor. I mean it's so difficult to even find an application for them, Musk has offered $5m for anyone who can find one.

This is interesting...

Lol, that makes zero sense,

The mere existence of a proof of concept chip that wont be seeing ANY production let alone consumer products does not magically make using an EOL OS any less of s stupid idea.

there is quantum atleast one computer, they are expensive as of now and need to run at near absolute 0 to slow down electrons orbiting atoms
