Just wow! what is the point of passwords with these things.
Someone explain please as it frightens the crap out of me.
1984 in real life ffs.

Can it stop me stubbing my toe? Is it advanced enough to play snake?

Snake? Pah - it plays 247 level Bantumi!

OK, this quantum computing malarkey is very scary. Regret to say cryst that 1984 doesn't get anywhere near it.

I don't pretend to understand it, but in simple terms these things can solve problems that would take years to solve on a conventional computer.

The machines are taking over.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Thankfully, wikipedia has a simplified explanation as to what it's all about.
"Quantum computing is a type of computation that harnesses the collective properties of quantum states, such as superposition, interference, and entanglement, to perform calculations. The devices that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers. Though current quantum computers are too small to outperform usual (classical) computers for practical applications, they are believed to be capable of solving certain computational problems, such as integer factorization (which underlies RSA encryption), substantially faster than classical computers.[2] The study of quantum computing is a subfield of quantum information science."

I know what you're thinking,.."oh yeah, of course. It's bleedin' obvious when you think about it"

They decide, not you.
