Maybe you can get a good, clear answer on how quantum computing is supposed to work. A good question would be: how to calculate 1+1 on a quantum computer. That is still unclear to me but I'll admit I did not dive very deep into quantum computing yet. --- End quote --- Conventional math will be likely left with conventional computers. Quantum deals with probabilities. You'd probably (no pun intended) don't want to receive an answer in a form of bunch of variants along with probability numbers for each one for being a correct result. ::) --- End quote --- So, 1 + 1 is probably 2? :-// |

Dave's interview should be interesting (hopefully), as I'm still not completely sure or convinced "quantum computing" will really be of any practical use, at least before several decades from now. |
