Well at least they demonstrated something with a prototype.


Btw: Anybody remember Steorn?

It's going to be at least a few years before quantum computers are ready to compete with standard computers, the first quantum computers won't be able to do much more than work a single algorithm. Here's an interesting article that gives a rough idea of where quantum computers are at right now:

http://news.sciencemag.org/sciencenow/2012/12/new-form-of-quantum-computation-.html

Also, if you go to the page you linked and you click on their quantum computer to get more details, you can get a rough idea of the cost of this thing by sentences such as "Our current superconducting 128-qubit processor chip is housed inside a cryogenics system within a 10 square meter shielded room."

I really don't see this being a threat to bitcoin any time in the near future...

BREAKING NEWS: I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
How much is this bridge of yours and do you accept tenebrix?

Here is a twist.  From:

SubAbsolute Zero Quantum devices might break Bitcoin!!!  Oh nooooooo.

Negative [absolute] temperature materials could be a boon to both theoretical particle physics and quantum computing.  But much work needs to be done to understand their bizarre new spin on physics.

Just to clarify an important point: People are playing with words when they use "quantum" to describe their new chips. It's not that hard to build a processor using 128 atoms to perform useful calculations.

A "real" quantum computer requires every qubit in the system to be entangled with all of the other qubits. It is from this entanglement property that quantum computers experience a significant speed-up compared to classical computers. Without entanglement, you're left with a computer that plays in the same ball park as your ipad. Creating and maintaining this entanglement is highly unstable. Systems tend to break down very quickly as you add qubits. It is even debated whether entanglement is physically possible to maintain for any significant number of qubits.

To date, I believe we have only been able to factor 3x5=15 with 7 qubits and more recently 11x13=143 on 4 qubits. However, for the second result, it is debated whether entanglement actually occurred.

So don't worry about these silly claim Wink Hope this clarifies it a bit!

Edit: Okay it's pretty clear everyone thinks this is fake ! I'll leave my post for info

Or it can possibly take crypto to new level that was unachievable with classical digital computers. Like Bitcoin was enabled by fast network connections and CPUs making transaction processing a breeze instead of freeze.

Anyway we are possibly decades before quantum computers are fully functional. Meanwhile the biggest threat to Bitcoin are ZOG busting Bitcoin users and sending to SEMEN camps. No quantum computers needed for this to happen.
