Ya but we all know the Gov will be the first to exploit this new found computing power...

Faster doesn't mean smarter
Manny this is really interesting news! Thanks so much for the posting.

At least it will now be possible to show that Qcomputers are actually able to do something.The company "DWave" build them but had some difficulties demonstrating their power.

I'm going to be following this thread with *great* interest.
If we're lucky, we all may be surprised at what can be learned here.
Thanks Maxmars.

In before they start factoring the primes of large integers and breaking 2048bit encryption....or maybe they already are

How about solve for pi and find any information that might be stored there
That's where I'd start

Why don't they try to 'square the circle' instead ...
That could give a new understanding on maths.

This is essential research, now I am going into the twilight zone for a moment with a supposition here?,.
There is a theory that the brain is a quantum mechanism and that perhaps consciousness exists in multiple reality's at once therefore spanning multiple brain's - the same brain multiplied in parallel creating a kind of holographic consciousness if you like, well this research however primitive may one day unlock the potential to create artificial brains (not just computational devices or simulations) capable of TRULY integrating with and even hosting that quantum consciousness of self awareness and not just cybernetic implant's.
Instead of each individual Mind being separate from all others, each Mind is a fragment or facet of a single overarching MIND. Each individual Mind is that aspect of MIND that is responsible for perceiving the state of the associated individual physical brain. Concentration of perception on a particular version of the wave function by one individual Mind is then presumed to set the concentration of perception on that same version by the overarching MIND. And that in turn sets the perception of the same version by all the other individual Minds. Neither the MIND nor the individual Minds alter the wave function in any way.

I am wondering whether recognizing this as an "historic" event will be difficult for some.
That's an understatement.
I've read about molecular processing and that nearly melted my brain...

Ok, dont mean to be devils advocate here but here goes anyways. Quantum computing has been here for a WHILE. You can literally BUY quantum computers now. www.dwavesys.com... Second of all, ALL ENCRYPTION IS USELESS NOW. Why do you think truecrypt closed shop? You dont even NEED quantum computers to destroy encryption anymore. There's literally dozens of ways to get keys out of the ram without even being physically present to the device. For instance, they can point a light beam in your window from a satellite and capture every single bit of data on every device in your home. I'm not kidding. This is real. Screw hiding. The game was over before you thought you were even playing. I already said too much. Enjoy your new liberty.
