He met the boss of Google?

The boss of Google has warned that quantum computers will be able to break encryption within as little as five years, signalling the growing threat to privacy such technological advances.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2020/01/22/googles-sundar-pichai-quantum-computing-could-end-encryption/
"In a five to ten year time frame, quantum computing will break encryption as we know it today."

elon musks priority is public utility.
by this i mean space transport
human transport
goods transport
..
so i dont see elon getting in on the QC game..

Quantum chip solves ‘travelling salesman’ problem for 22 cities
https://www.electronicsweekly.com/news/research-news/quantum-chip-solves-travelling-salesman-problem-22-cities-2020-01/
'''According to the university, this is “something that would take about 1,200 years for a high-performance von Neumann CPU”, but the chip “can solve the travelling salesman problem for 22 cities instantly” until now using quantum processing it “has only been able to solve the travelling salesman problem involving a maximum of 16 cities”.
A quantum annealing computer is not a full-blown quantum computer, of the type that could crack encryption for example, which no one has yet made – or if they have, they are keeping quiet about it.'''

Is Elon Musk developing a quantum computer?

Go ask him on Twitter.

He is not responding. Can someone send him a PM or ask him privately?

I think no one is healing, so he is not saying anything. No need to say anything personally Alan Kasturi will not hide it if he actually develops a quantum computer and will end up in the public interest. That is why we would love to contact him on Twitter so everyone can know the real details.

He is not answering.


Here is a tweet where he describes quantum as incredible.

Quantum mechanics was harder than all my other courses combined, but so incredible

Maybe he will surprise the community.

Are quantum computers possible? Are there already at least some theoretical prototypes?

It's my understanding is that the current focus is on optical computing with random noise bandwidth being the limiting factor. Quantum computers can be simulated however, I've read reports that monte carlo simulations can and do surpass quantum computers in regards to performance.

Google’s head of quantum computing, Hartmut Neven:
“In the future race between a Tesla and a Porsche, if one had access to quantum computers and the other company didn’t, the one that doesn’t have access to a quantum processor will lose out because with the quantum process at hand, you will be able to accelerate your battery development very quickly.”

Elon Musk needs a quantum computer.

And the Bitcoin network is a place where you can prove that you own a quantum computer, an indicator.
