>still no quantum computing it's a meme right?

>>61480651
not a meme, just infeasible

>>61480672
so we are stuck with this shitty transistrs and a dozen ghz max? pathetic

>>61480651
There are a few quantum systems in use right now.

>still no quantum computing
for you

>>61480701
You do realize that quantum computing is only useful for certain algorithms and won't make your games run faster, right?

>>still no quantum computing
>it's a meme right?
La because is no open source haha

>>61481073
Dude if it's a new technology it must be better so it'll make everything faster!

>>61481073
yeah but I love playing Quantum Physics Simulator (tm)

>>61480701
dont worry /v/ we're researching alternatives to silicon you can waste more money on

>>61481073
b-but i read on the news its gonna make computers 1000 billion times faster

>>61480651
There is though:
http://libquantum.de/

This simulates a quantum computer. Naturally it is not anywhere near as efficient to simulate a qubit using classic bits as it is to use a real qubit, but the theory is the same.

They include an implementation of Shor's algorithm, but of course since it's an abstraction over a classical computer it's much too slow and costly to work against real public keys. But, theoretically when you can replace those simulated qubits with real ones, perhaps on some sort of QPU (similar to how we hand off certain computations to GPUs today), then things get interesting.

Using real qubits has many other issues that need solving though, like actually being able to manipulate enough of them to do anything worthwhile and decoherence.

How about we first focus on the fact you need your 'QPU" to be at 0.001 kelvin for it to even theoretically work.

>>61480651
Actual quantum computers didn't exist until the late 90's. We're basically still at the vacuum tube stage.

>>61480651

dude a few quantum computers could crack every crypto in a few days

>>61482956

It doesn't need to be that cold just close to get a usable effect.

>>61483505
Fine, 0.01 kelvin, then. Much easier to achieve.
