Title: Google bought a D-wave quantum computer Post by: Blueberry408 on May 17, 2013, 11:32:07 PM :D Quantum computing sounds exciting... the press release said today 20,000 times faster than current supercomputers. That's fast, and nice to know more than one or two customers are able to purchase, install, and begin programming them THIS YEAR.
The implications for the future of cryptocurrency are clear-- quantum computers are legendary for cryptology computations. Whether or not BTC is going to be the future of payment itself is, to me, less clear, but still more interesting now that alternative information processing devices are considered a logical investment to some very logical customers. At first, programmers need to figure out how to utilize the physics to accelerate computation. It's a different paradigm, and the gamble is how talented will we be at riding the quantum wave.

For certain values of 'computer' Basically, assembly language will become vastly more dimensional than it is now on classical devices. It's RISC and CISC at the same time, a veritable paradox. No surprise it's installed in the SF Bay Area. Plus. It looks like a TARDIS.

No way, cause if they don't make their energy target of fitting it on a usb they will give 1 million bitcoins to charity Title: Re: Google bought a D-wave quantum computer Post by: mufa23 on May 18, 2013, 02:42:21 AM Plus. It looks like a TARDIS. shutupandtakemymoney.jpg |
