*at a few particular types of operations

I have doubts about that title. Quantum computer speeds are impossible to fairly compare to classical computers, as they excel and suck at completely different tasks. https://youtu.be/lvTqbM5Dq4Q

"While we call these devices quantum computers, they're more like prototypes of what quantum computers can be" "The team used a complex, synthetic benchmark called random circuit sampling" "There's a debate to be had about how useful and practical these particular simulations are" Call me when there is real progress.

Can I get an IT down here to unfuck the bottom cables though? I can't tell what's going where and it looks like ass.
vissago
but can it run doom?
manulofdoom
Of course.

Can it run Tetris?

I think it's time to sell my Log Log Deci Trig slide rule from college. Any takers? :

Thing wing quantum computing is that the wrong answers cancel out and leave the correct ones.

If that's it, it's also really, really pretty.

ooooh.... sparkly!

We need a standard benchmark. Run Doom
eppykaze
But can it run Crysis?

No

Can I play solitaire on it or not?
MagicalHamFlaps
that cable management gave me an erection

All that to show sponsored ads?

So... how do they know? How do you measure this things computational power or speed in a way that is realistic and makes sense to us down here on our phones?

I mean, without a banana.....

At first I thought it was hanging from a ceiling, like a chandelier.
IrrationalNumber
It is.

They figure out what to use quantum computing for yet?

To play Doom.

Not quite yet, but they are working on it.

AI will figure out what to do with it first. We're not smart enough to give a quantum computer problems yet.

Have you ever tried to quantify the relativistic effectthe inner electron shell in uranium feel? As in you have an electron there that is much younger than the beta particles that uranium atom shed 5000 years ago.

I know you’ve got my money you god damned Fuckin nerd. That’s hella cool though. You’re my favorite kind of person.

Porn. At lightning speed.

Hey Google, slow it down, I don't last that long already.

Porn so fast it becomes a sexy tachyon wave and transports you back in time

One of the big things is breaking RSA encryption. There already exists some mathematical pathways to breaking all internet encryption. They're just waiting for a quantum computer fast enough to be able to run it within any reasonable time frame.
LespritDeLescalier22
So, all that to crack codes and spy on other people? I mean, I get that it’s important, but can’t we just ask Benny Cucumberpatch to help?
DanielAsparagus
There’s a limit to what we can compute and power without quantum computing.
ryushi5
It's just an example of the kind of math that's easier with a quantum computer, it's probably not the main driver
DanielAsparagus
I thought you had to tailor the quantum computer to the question. They aren’t a general use device like Turing machines. Right? Idk I’m the dumb.
ryushi5
Meh, yes and no. When you make a processor you design it around a range of operations (or opcodes) that they can perform. You can design operations to make certain processes more efficient, but they will still be fully programmable to general purposes.
