If there’re somebody here work or research about this future device, please tell us how does it works.
Is there even some sort of working prototype yet?
It uses concentrated science.
Heard only in movies about that so far. Maybe you mean nano-computers(PC with nano-CPU)?
I mean one that use some quantum-scale properties like entanglement and superposition.
I’ve read that link already, thx for the link form bur.
I reckon that there is, because it was just may 2011 that a company called D-Wave was founded.
And that’s why i’m here. If some one here can explain this very new technology, it would be very great.
This is way over my head, but here goes:
They use qubits for computation instead of bits. From what I’ve gathered, a qubit doesn’t have a definite state (hence “quantum”) whereas a bit has to be either a 1 or a 0. Due a bunch of reasons I don’t understand, this means that quantum computers can theoretically process certain things way faster than a normal computer, I guess because they’re doing three things at once with every qubit, since its state is 1, 0 and both simultaneously. Or something.
I also remember reading an article that said they’re inherently unstable compared to a normal computer. That’s all I got.
This sounds like analog computing (as opposed to digital). Analog computers are out there and can be useful in a number of applications, but I thought that they were literally impossible to program for.
Yeah, I dunno. If there’s one thing I’m definitely not an expert on in this world, it’s quantum computing.
I’m just regurgitating what I’ve read and what a physicist I went to college with told me.
not interested until they release an x86 emulator on it
I think its very important for scientists, cosmologists, and quantum physicists and such but it would unlikely be released to the public so don’t get your hopes up on ever having this. Even if they were stupid enough to release it to the public the price tag would be too much for you to afford
Just like when the first computers occupied entire houses and only the government or big corporations could afford it. That technology sure did never advance to the point where it was affordable to the common Joe, no siree.
ass
No counter-point. I win.
What I mean is that you should never underestimate scientific advancement. The average cellphone has more computing power in it than any supercomputer of the 80’s and its size and cost are just a fraction of that.
So who are you to say quantum computing won’t evolve in the same way?
Funny coming from a guy with your signature.
Who knows how expensive these will be in the future, but from the sounds of it they are probably aren’t very useful outside of scientific application. It’s not that they’re faster than normal computers in general, it’s just that they do certain things really well.
booger breath
HAL 9000 is my friend, he say that we will have quantum computers in a few seconds. But we must be die to use this computers XD Soo, I am gonna sing Daisy
what i really meant is that almost unlimited computing power is too much of a risk to just hand out to the public. It’s like selling machine guns to prison inmates
