Toshiba has recently invented a consumer-grade quantum cryptography network.
Bitcoin also mentioned in the article.

What do you think about it ? Does it really exist ? If yes what consequences will it have on Bitcoin ?

the link does not go to a toshiba interview or a media outlet that scrutinies its sources..

the story seems to be from a blog style media source (http://caeconomics.wordpress.com/) where anyone can submit stories. (who is John Vandivier)

and the link in the story brings you too yet another blogger/journalist. (qz.com)

no actual references / interviews from toshiba themselves making a device. just a toshiba RESEARCH PAPER.

i call this chinese whispers, where the initial facts get distorted with every person that then passes the information forward.

Racist. :P

There are commercial quantum cryptography systems available but they need dedicated fibers.

Quantum cryptography on a non dedicated fiber needs a shit load of liquid helium to make the single photon detectors work. That won't be commercially available for a very long time.

Moore's law can be applied to anything in high-tech. I wouldn't say "very long".

But can it run Windows?

This news seems legit.

Interesting, but we will not see too much about it for a few years.

Getting single photon detectors to work cheaply and efficiently at higher temperatures isn't so much in the realms of high-tech but rather still in the realms of science. Science can take a very long time.

What about Crysis 3?

Yes very nice indeed, but still a long way away.

From what I understand no current programs or networks will run on any quantum pc or quantum network as the mathematics is different.
