>>10406850You know that quantum computers have nothing to do with computers or even traditional computing right?
Basically the oversimplified and short version is that every bit in the program can be both a 0 and 1. At the same time.
You then proceed to abuse this fact by making them collapse into a 0 or 1 and force them to give the "right" bit value for whatever problem you're having. Such as encryption or optimization problems. You just collapse the bits to have the exact optimum value.
There is no actual CALCULATION being done. Instead you use natural phenomenon of quantum uncertainty to flip all the bits into the perfect ratio.
Classical computers are extremely shit at guessing the shortest path or encryption passwords. They just bruteforce through all possibilitites really fast until they find the correct or shortest one.
Quantum computers just collapse the bits into the shortest possibility in an instant.
But it's not really "computing" since nothing is actually being calculated. It's merely collapsing wave functions into the most efficient path.
Now that you understand this you will probably realize just how limited quantum "computers" are and that it has absolutely nothing to do with computer science and is purely for finding the optimum value in every possible system.
The more bits you have the larger or complexer the value you can instantly collapse.
Quantum computers are mostly going to be used to find optimization problems within industry but after that has been found that "calculation" never has to be done again.
Things like the most efficient path in assembly lines, while designing roads, trade etc. But also finding specific scientific values will be done by quantum computers. And it will grow our economy a lot.
But again there will NEVER be a quantum computer in people's home because there is no use for a machine to collapse into the most efficient answer to questions.
