Quantum leap towards computer of the future

Quantum leap towards computer of the future

www.abc.net.au

An Australian-led team of scientists have taken a big step forward in the race to develop a quantum computer.

(visit the link for the full news article)

"The whole world is exploring technologies to build quantum computers," he said.

"The team have made the key advance of showing they can read out information from these spins in a single fast measurement that faithfully transmits the information."

"This opens up the road for silicon quantum computing."

I can't wait to get a quantum computer it would make todays super computers look like toys

i thought the 6 core computer i just ordered was atvanced guess im wrong again

"Quantum computers won't speed up all day-to-day computing,"

"But there are three areas where we know it will be much faster: cracking most modern forms of encryption; searching databases; and modelling atomic systems such as biological molecules and drugs."

Your 6 core still rocks.....

That first external quote you have there, even though it's made by a team member from their University, isn't entirely true. What is true is that the current method of computing won't change for many of the everyday applications (programs) that we use. However, the ones that will be created as a result of this new technology will harness all of the power of the technology, and utilize it to a fault probably.

And I can ensure that that will happen pretty quickly after the technology goes live.

thanks for clearing that one up every time my brain see's the word quantum parts of it shut down and i just assume its like super science (never was good at science) and yeah im excited for the comp for less then a grand too

back to the op so to a layman what will this do for computing?( small words please)
