TECH BLUF: Quantum Computing… the new cold war?
What the Fuck is Quantum Computing
Well let me tell ya.
Quantum computing is like if you gave modern day computing 50,000 Monster energy drinks, a pack of cigs and a jacked up Ford F150; and then told it to compute the solution to the worlds problems.
Here's your out if you didn't want to read the whole thing…
Too Busy Didn't Read (TBDR):
What it is: Quantum computing is like a supercharged brain for computers. Regular computers use bits (0 or 1), but quantum computers use qubits, which can simultaneously be both 0 and 1. This means they can solve really hard problems much faster. For example, a problem that might take a regular computer 10,000 years to solve could be solved by a quantum computer in just a few seconds!
Where it's currently, Quantum computers are still being developed. Big companies like IBM and Google have built early versions. Google's quantum computer solved a problem in 200 seconds, which would take the best supercomputer 10,000 years. Read that again… But we're still figuring out how to use them for everyday tasks.
The Future: Quantum computers could change everything. They might help us discover new medicines, create unbreakable security codes, and even solve complex scientific problems that are impossible today.
One of the best videos explaining Quantum Computing.
Even for a knuckle dragger like myself.
