 Canadian quantum computers are better than humans � at everything! The coolest new computer around is chilled to nearly absolute zero before it starts any processing task.
But once it's going, it's going like 3,600 times faster than leading conventional computers!

But it wouldn't surprise me if they ended up a division of IBM.
I'm not sure if I should take this as good or bad news though. Skynet anyone? Now hackers and governments can snoop and hack 3600x faster not to mention (correct me if I'm wrong) but our current encryption technology used by most companies and government could be broken a lot faster now.
Costs millions today to buy so should keep hackers at bay, but in 20 years $500 bucks at Best Buy.
Nice to see a Canadian company leading the way in the field of quantum computing.

Doubtful, not many companies are willing to join sinking ships anymore, plus it's doubtful they would need or even want the capital they would provide as they would outgrow IBM if they remain a leader as every lab, government agency, and many corporations would want them.

Hackers can't hack any faster with a quantum computer that with a regular one, and the limitations of governments being able to snoop is still limited by bandwidth and storage (not law!).
To break 2048 RSA encryption, it's estimated to take 6.4 quadrillion years for a modest desktop PC. So at 3600 times faster, by the time the encryption is broken, the information will be completly useless anyhow.
But that also means they will be able to encrypt data far more securely than we can now.
Canadian computers can't kiss better than I do!
Not yet anyway.
Wonder how long until this technology enters the consumer space? 20 years?
Can a quantum computer survive EMPs better than a normal computer..?
I want to see someone make a modern-ish computer that runs entirely without transistors, requiring diodes and such.
If anything they would be more vulnerable due to requiring an even higher level of precision but they would be able to process so much there would be less vulnerable systems so more could be spent on protecting them

Exactly. It's called 'decoherence' and Quantum processors are so vulnerable to outside interference that they have 10^-4 seconds to complete their programs before they have to be reset for the next operation. When they run, it's supposed to be just amazing. But they do it in very short bursts.
So I guess my Commodore 64 isn't state of the art anymore.
It is when you compare it to an Apple II.

Prove it.
