I am all in for down votes. I am not a physicist but the cost of cooling must astronomical for the output you get. CF. When autonomous vehicle technology gets released into production it is likely they won't make your car look like its wearing a dunce's hat whereas when quantum computers enter production we will still need mK temperatures for them to operate. The cost of cooling will burn the planet up further, just so someone can crack a SHA-256 encrypted password in seconds...random numbers indeed.
- krastanov 5y agoThere are technologies that would not need the 15mK operating temperatures, they are just in their infancy. The most interesting applications of quantum computing have little to do with encryption or breaking codes. Chemistry and optimization problems are much more exciting. SHA-256 is a hash, not an encryption algorithm. And quantum computers have nothing to contribute to reversing hashes or breaking symmetric encryption.
- dougSF70 5y agoWhile I don't doubt that advances are being made, this has the hallmarks of cold fusion all over again. By the time it is in production, DeepMind will have made significant head way using conventional CPU/GPU.
