You can think of each quantum state as a unit length vector in n-dimensional space. These vectors are your qubits. At each step of computation you can transform these states using linear operators or make a measurement, which collapses the whole superposition of states of your qubit to some particular state, each with a particular probability. This is pretty much it, but shit gets complicated and there are some phenomena which is just messed up - the math works out, it has actually been observed in the real world, but no one can clearly understand why this is happening. These are just the basics I can remember of the top of my head. The difficulty in programming them is probably choosing the right linear operators to apply.

You’re kidding right? And what would the public do with this unlimited computing power? DDOS google with eight hundred million tabs?

There’s no such thing as unlimited computing power, but some computations can be done more efficiently on quantum computers.

A true child of the Black Mesa Forums, a complete moron who has to attack and lash out at people to make himself feel better inside

This is why i hate posting on these forums because know it all smart asses have to butt in and spew non-sense and show people how big their e-peen is

He is right though. We already have shitloads of computing power and the general public just uses that to watch videos of funny cats and babies laughing

I want you to tell me where I attacked you in that post.

Unless the inmates can only use them to do as much damage as with slingshots, or just don’t know how to do damage with them.

I think you’re just describing yourself. You’ve been the most aggressive of anyone here.

Regardless, you’re wrong. The entire idea of quantum computing is to make the process more efficient, hence the goal is to make linear computing obsolete. To assume that computer scientists will have created something so powerful that they can’t create counter-measures for people exploiting it, is pretty far fetched. What evidence do have? Calling people asses when the burden of proof is yours is rather ineffective.

Most bluff that they can, when they don’t know how to chamber a bullet.

u gay? Lol.

Wasn’t the PS2 considered a dangerous thing because anyone could use it to launch nuclear rockets or something? Yeah, look at all the nuclear wars it caused so far…

Quantum computing may be considered too powerful and dangerous now but the truth is it’s still pretty much in its embryonic stage and no one really knows the extent of its capacities, and just like the early computers were considered too complex and expensive for the common public, so will this for the time being.

Quantum computer could be powerful in the only one way… it could random an eight-character password in second. Other than this… I don’t think so.

You can see the probability that quantum computer would be sold on the market from the news that there’s a private company working in USA (as I’ve said) called D-Wave.
May be, in the next century, we would have that thing in our quantum mobile phone, or possibly DNA-processing unit mobile phone.

I’m not sure if this has already been stated, but D-Wave is already selling quantum computers. They’re a lot smaller than what I thought they’d be.

I haven’t looked into quantum computers in a while. Apparently there’s a joke that a quantum computer can sort a list first time by randomizing it.

I can see it now, “hay guys, I just got this DNA analysis app on my phone.”

It’s not actually randomness, it’s looking like to test every cases in one time. It’s god damn Norris.

… What?

Now if only it could be heavily miniaturized and/or extremely multi-threaded(divide the CPU into 1 000 000 000 000+ parts removable on the fly) so that I could use it to power my personal army of nano-bots made out of carbon nano-tubes. The processing power required to regenerate complete cells out of raw elements is unimaginable without this technology.

Get the fuck off this forum and go watch 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Better yet, read it. :wink:
