Orb Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 They're super powerful computers, I'm watching a youtube video on it right now. It's exciting to see the evolution of technology. I'm super into science stuff but don't read about it much, oh my god it'd be fun to read about quantum physics and other science stuff! Are you excited too?

Orb Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 I watched the video I shared here and didn't understand most of it 😂😂😂. I crack myself up. It sounds cool though, I wanna understand the significance of this. Do you guys see it? I think it'll be able to calculate more things at once?

I'm definitely not an expert) quantum computers might change the way we need to encrypt information. I took a class on the math involved with information security, and I learned a lot about the algorithms used to encrypt information. My understanding was essentially that what makes encryption secure is that there are so many possible cypher keys that it would take even a super computer years or decades to run through them all, but based on the way a quantum computer works, it could do the same thing much more efficiently. So, it's possible that if they became more mainstream, we would need to totally reinvent cybersecurity. If anyone in more knowledgeable about this subject, please feel free to correct or ad to what I'm saying. This is correct for the most part. I'm sure they'll find a way to upgrade cyber security. Otherwise it would be madness. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: I learned that with quantum computing, researchers will be able to research with digital versions of whatever they're researching which is pretty cool. So for a biologist he can study with the computer and not a live specimen, a physicist can actively study digital atoms that operate in real time. Again, I'm not well versed in this but trying to understand still. Quote Mention ♾️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiritual dreams Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 For most things, conventional computers will still be superior. Quantum computing is only useful for certain cases where the algorithm can take advantage of superposition. That being said, the field is still in its infancy so I could be wrong.

It is in its infancy. But it 100% will revolutionize the way scientific research is done, calculations that were nearly impossible to compute will be easy on quantum computers. The real evolution is in the whole field of science. A "bridge" between computer science and physics has been built essentially.

There has always been a huge bridge between computer science and physics. Simulations on conventional computers are a huge part of a physicists arsenal. But yeah quantum computers will be insanely useful for physics Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like think of A.I as the mind and quantum computers as the body. He mentioned how QC's can fact check chat gpt very efficiently.

spiritual dreams Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 @Orb well they could also be the mind as well. Quantum machine learning is a growing field of research Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy to think how everything comes down to the super complexity patterns carefully created with billions of nano-size transistors, and communicate in an incredibly fast speed with pulses and breaks of electrical voltages, passing through complex physical hardware, traveling all around the world.
