Quantum computing does not magically speed up general purpose computing tasks. We only know a handful of algorithms where quantum computers provide algorithmic complexity reductions and even that that does not mean they necessarily calculate fast in terms of IPC, they just calculate previously intractable problems in reasonable timescales.
TL;DR: you won't pop quantum GPUs/CPUs into your computer and suddenly get 50 times the framerates in DOOM.
- jfoutz 8y agoTotally glib reply, but here it is. If I can represent screen state as quibits, and I have a whole lot of quibits, I can represent a game as a little list of player inputs. Set up an enormous superposition, and as players hit keys, collapse the next frame. The imaginary hardware could be super quick! TL;DR: yeah probably, but you never know.

- tabtab 8y agoSome have suggested that certain common algorithms (or needs) can be rewritten into the types QC are good at. I'm not an expert so cannot confirm such. It may await new algorithm discoveries to answer anyhow.
