Am I understanding correctly that the whole idea is to get a bunch of qubits in one machine and then have them evaluate every possibility in a super dumb way but count on them to get the desired result faster than a transister based machine that knows what its looking for?
And that we currently just can’t coordinate that many qubits at once and also cant keep them cool long enough to function??
This seems kind of ridiculous idk...
- johncolanduoni 7y agoThis is not the case and is a constant frustration researchers have with how quantum computing is represented in the media. So much so that Scott Aaronson (who works on computational complexity theory, particularly as it relates to quantum computing) has a statement telling you that’s not the case in the heading of his blog: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/ https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/
- rolltiide 7y agoI had to skim but that articles seems more of a gripe with “p-bits” being an even dumber concoction of standard computers I didn't see how it dissected my understanding edit: oh I see I had read the first post on that blog thinking it was what the attention was supposed to be on
