Quantum computer ... 128 Q-bits

So the end of this computing world has arrived finally ?


[Edit] Ok, I was not trying to troll. Last time I checked they were fighting to put together more than a couple of these qbits and it didn't work very well, and now, ... 128 intricated qbits ?  really ? wow ...

We already had that discussion. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=131778.0

In short. Yes, they exist, yes, they are already in use, no, they will not kill Bitcoin, no, you can't use them for mining.

I thought the cryogenics system that is needed to house it cost 10 million & the actual computer itself costs much more than that.

No the price tag is $10M including the cryogenic system.  Obviously consumables (like liquid helium) aren't included and I would imagine it probably has a hefty maintenance cost.
