Wow well, holy crap.

I'm not sure about the goodness of this kind of thing but from the hype, it sounds that quantum computers are good. But I don't know their potential.

This is going to be big

**akula** · 02-12-2007 08:56 AM

it's huge

this kind of computing power exponentially accelerates the development of civilization

for example, using these kinds of technologies it's possible to discover anti-aging treatments

I just researched Quantum Computers, and the feedback i got is that we are decades away from this technology. How could this be? In 2003 ibm designed the most advanced quantum pc wich could do nothing but interact with qubits and atoms (im not a physisist so i might not of understood well)

Cheers

People have breakthroughs I guess.

It's easy to say 'we're 20 years away' but that's just at the current predictable rates.

lol, all hype.

Even if it is hype, those computers will come very soon opening many possibilites.

Like when California had the gold rush and the 1st millionaire in San Fransisco was not the guy digging for the gold, but selling the shovels.

How can we profit from this? brainstorm?

Very inteligent DrMoney. In the matter of fact some smart people have already started doing this. For example, one aspect of a quantum computer is that it can crack all known encryptions today. So i have seen some websites providing new methods of hardware security, quantum computer proof you might say
