IBM's will have 50 qubits, while D-Wave has a couple thousand which are not true, just a bunch of 8 qubit nodes in "parallel" (I don't really understand this tech desu), leading me to believe that those 50 qubits will be "true". Pls someone correct me if I'm wrong.
>>
>>59281521
I've heard that AES is not vulnerable to this, only RSA, because of some prime thingy. Also, you would need more qubits to be actually capable of decrypting RSA used in practice, so we are not doomed yet. If they could decrypt RSA, everyone would be freaking out right now.
>>

>>
>>59285148
there's only like 1000 people who do. everyone else memorizes high level concepts which are actually not completely accurate.

my (oversimplified) understanding is: quantum computers use qubits instead of bits. qubits have a third state besides "on" and "off" (the two states of a bit). this state is the superposition, which is like being both on and off at the same time. somehow these qubits allow us to write algorithms that can solve specific problems much faster than a classical computer.

quantum computers have the potential to easily crack encryption keys. which means the first group to successfully do this can basically fuck everyone over. they can hack every bank, every government, every email server, etc with ease.

they are likely not suitable for general computing, and are best for specific tasks (like cracking encryption keys), so you will never use one yourself.

i don't think so. the advantage isn't the fact that there's a 3rd state, it's the fact that you can use certain quantum properties of a superposition. quantum algorithms use complex math that you likely won't understand unless you're a physicist.

for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shor%27s_algorithm#Quantum_part:_Period-finding_subroutine

How did they get around error correction? Last I remember that doesn't scale linearly. Meaning they need 7 qubits to ensure 3 were working, so they would need hundreds extra for 50

That's not really right. It's more like a probability of being on/off. You can poke it and modify it in various ways but it collapses and becomes binary as soon as you try to find out what its value is.

His point is that comparing quantum computers to the normal ones is comparing apples to oranges. They are better at some specific tasks, but won't necessarily yield a performance increase in normal everyday tasks, not to mention the fact that they probably cost an arm and a leg, and that their cooling uses a fuckton of power.

how would you tell if the frame was correct or not without having another processing unit that actually rendered the correct frame?

best you could do is run it 10 times and pick the most likely outcome and hope thats correct.

to add on to this.

you can run machine learning algorithms on this but last time I checked which was 3 years ago they could only do SVM.

the AI implications would be enormous and its something the press releases arent talking about for some reason.
>>
>>59287054
It takes an enormous amount of time and energy to use these things. And they aren't proven to be more efficient than a classical computer at many compute tasks yet.

You need a truly massive workload that has the potential for quantum speed up (like breaking RSA or calculating discrete log) to justify the latency overhead.

Thats why IBM is asking people to figure out how to program a quantum computer. There is no real killer app for quantum computing, outside quantum simulation.

Being a quantum computer doesn't automatically make it fast and in fact, they will probably be outperformed by regular hardware for a long time (if not forever). You clearly don't even know what a quantum computer is, so why are you creating these topics? Fuck off.

You apparently don't know how computationally expensive it is to reverse a hash. Have you considered shutting the fuck up you fucking retard?
>>
>>59295339
You realize that to perform any kind of normal computational tasks with a quantum computer, it requires an absurd amount of overhead right? They are only useful for certain types of computations.

It's analogous to a brain vs a computer. Obviously a brain can perform calculations that would be effectively impossible for a calculator. However, for normal computations a plain calculator is much faster.

haha, yeah except it wasn't in the begging and middle stages yet no one of any value cared about it anyway. The only ones that cared were the ones that were going to ride the bubble. No one with serious comp power ever said "hey I better get in on this because it's a valid currency". It's only Chinks and people heating their basements, and people that don't pay their electric bill that cared about this doomed to fail meme currency

Are their published technical details of anything related to quantum besides theory or is this just another IBM investor ad placed in some pseudo news site?

Is there a verdict on what will need to happen to crypto once quantum is realized from concept?
Is it as simple as increasing keysize or is it much more complicated than that?

Clearly there is a concept of quantum turing machines and that would mean we could do anything, but there has to reasonably be a type of problem that quantum algorithms are especially suited for.

Holy fucking shit, quantum computers rely on the probabilistic nature of particles or whatever, but their output is not probabilistic. If it was, it would be entirely useless. For example, if you were to do something that requires multiple iterations, the probability of your end result being correct would exponentially go down to zero.
>>
>>59299418
>I'm not sure why you say that
When I wrote that post, I assumed that they would not be better at cracking hashes than a normal computer at all. Turns out I was partially wrong. Apparently, there is an algorithm called Grover's algorithm that cuts down search time from N to sqrt(N) for tasks such as hash cracking, however that increase is not as significant as the increase with Shor's algorithm (used to crack RSA), that reduces time from sub-exponential to polynomial (sub exponential time is better than exponential, but still grows worse than any possible polynomial)

They would probably crash the bitcoin market with that, and it would become useless pretty fast, I mean, who would use bitcoins after IBM mines a gorillion, and if no-one uses a currency, it is worthless. Not to mention that someone else would invent another quantum computer, and then they would have to race against other quantum computers, i.e. they would be basically back to where they started. Finally, the quantum computer market may be worth more than all the bitcoins in existence, which is around 20 billion dollars at the current rate.

You know how with modern computers the transistor is either on or off, depending on the electrical charge? Quantum computers have on, off, and both simultaneously.
No one really knows what they're good for, as this thread shows. Some say that they're excellent at massively parallel tasks, others say they're shit at that but good at parallel tasks in a different way than what we think of as "good."
