Will quantum computing reach desktops?
Why aren't Intel and AMD researching this?
Will it be used for GPUs too?

No

See above

It's not intended to do what desktop so.

>Why aren't Intel and AMD researching this?
It's possible that they are.

>Will it be used for GPUs too?
We really have no idea what they can be used for apart from few things, because there are no quantum computers yet.

Quantum computing hasn't even reached supercomputers yet. We're still at the stage of, "I wonder if we can even make these things do simple arithmetic". Just because it has "quantum" in the name doesn't mean it's automatically better or more powerful.

It's a thing that sometimes in right conditions with right tasks works somewhat similarly to how a quantum computer would work.
>>
>>62128029
Quantum computing will always be specialized hardware. If it ever reaches home applications it will be something you plug into the motherboard, like a GPU.
There are very few things we currently know how to do on a quantum computer, but if we made one it'd be a huge deal already.

>>62128029
>Will quantum computing reach desktops?
Not likely
>Why aren't Intel and AMD researching this?
Intel is
>Will it be used for GPUs too?
No

Better question; quantum annealing, quantum gates, or both?

good luck getting replies

The quantum computers are very very different from our typical, linear calculations computers and so they serve different proposes. One will never reach the other, cause diferrent shiet.
Intel and AMD are brands that sell and research primarily for selling to the average person, altough they sell to the governments and big companies too. I think its not their biz, that shit is for D-Wave and IBM filled with researchers in the subject.
You should do some research, GPUs and CPUs are good for doing linear calculations that almost all the time dont have many possible solutions. Quantum processors are for calculations that have a ton of possible solutions and instead of doing them all one by one they do just one calculation and find the right answers, in simple terms.
Quantum GPU? I doubt that. GPUs were and are a need in our current PC state, they are much like a cpu but they are focused on rendering images. In the Quantum computer realm I doubt that will ever be needed.

Too unstable. Do you want micro black holes everywhere?
>>
>>62128029
>why aren't Intel and AMD or any other consumer computing manufacturer investing in computing still entirely in the conceptual stage that needs temperatures near absolute zero just to (theoretically) function.and isn't even theoretically better than conventional computing at the shit we currently use home computers for.
Considering Intel has trouble keeping their temps under light load from spiking to 70C, GEE I FUCKING WONDER.
Think, McFly, THINK!

Mate, this is /g/ not /sci/.
Also
>Intel is actually investing in yet another moneypit
Kek'd. Will their quantum computers be compatible with McAfee?
>>
>>62128029
>Will quantum computing reach desktops?
No, since you need at least half a powerplant to power and cool a single processor.

>Why aren't Intel and AMD researching this?
There are rumors of Intel researching quasi-quantum systems that simulate quantum states, but it's extremely inefficient compared to the real thing. AMD is entertaining the idea, but still, rumors.

Will it be used for GPUs too?
Probably not. See point 1.

>>62128271
Quantum annealing does the job, or makes it easier to solve a problem at least, but its not the real deal, once we get to the dope Quantum Gates Processor, thats when shiet is about to get serious.
>>
>>62128418
Nah, but a year of McAfee is what will be offered to investors when their pie in the sky fantasy doesn't meet reality.

The cryogenic cooling required to reduce the noise makes that very unlikely over any timescale.
>>
>>62128029
Quantum computers would be like using a maserati in a bunch of side streets no longer than 200m with a speed limit of about 40 km/h. You can but you're going to have a horrendous time. Unless you got a very long, arduous end game a quantum computer is a fucking retarded idea.

We already have one made by IBM a while back, but the gate fidelity is pretty bad. Shit will go nuts when we get to 50 qubits and the fidelity issues are sorted out.

>>62128029
quantum computing is a meme.
>>
>>62128029
quantum computers work in extremely low temperatures like ~10 millikelvins
creating technology that could cool a chip that much and fit in a desktop space will be a lot harder than creating a quantum computer powerful enough to simulate an entire universe
>>
>>62128029
>Will quantum computing reach desktops?
It has no use in the average desktop computer.
>Why aren't Intel and AMD researching this?
Because nobody is going to pay xx,xxx for a wicked cool cooling set up that reaches .0001% away from absolute 0, and because it does fuckall for fps nobody will buy it from them.
>Will it be used for GPUs too?
once again, no fucking use. gpus are shit for most tasks, they cant even transcode video correctly.
>>
>>62128610
Its not U fucking illiterate dumbass faggit
>>
>>62128586
Yeah I heard about that and Im just sitting here waiting for more qubits to come, we yet just saw the first developments in so many years of quantum computing discussion.
Im into cryptography and quantum computing is real deal in that matter.

it's a meme, anon
