Title: DWave's Quantum Computer Post by: Dice on May 13, 2013, 09:30:33 AM http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23519-commercial-quantum-computer-leaves-pc-in-the-dust.html
What do you all think, does this have an affect on bitcoin itself? Or is this approaching i different route of math equations?

Title: Re: DWave's Quantum Computer Post by: etotheipi on May 13, 2013, 05:50:07 PM If only DWave actually produced real quantum computers. To date, they have just been gimmicks, not actually harnessing the physical phenomena needed to ... work as a real quantum computer.
Universal quantum computers are probably still decades off. And that's what you need to apply things like Shor's Algorithm, which is what will break a lot of existing internet security (in addition to Bitcoin). |
