Cool Machines That Will Replace Your PC
2 July 2008
For more than 30 years, physicists have dreamed of harnessing the power of atoms to produce computers that would far outstrip the capabilities of the silicon microchips used in today’s PCs.
The Quantum Computer that could eventually replace the personal computer as we know it today and could perform calculations millions of times faster! This will result in amazing applications in video, gaming and others that haven’t even been thought of yet.
Here’s what Quantum Computers will be able to do soon:
Typical personal computers calculate 64 bits of data at a time. A 64- qubit quantum computer would be about 18 billion billion times faster.
A working quantum computer could be so mind-bogglingly powerful that it would solve in seconds certain problems that would take the fastest supercomputer millions of years to complete.
Consumers, credit card companies and high-tech firms rely on cryptography to protect sensitive information. The basis for encryption systems is that computers would need thousands of years to factor a large number, making it very difficult to do. But a QC could break the most complicated encryption in hours.
One of the more bizarre properties of QCs was identified by a team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. They presented the first demonstration of “counterfactual computation”, inferring information about an answer, even though the computer itself did not run.
Quantum computers could also take advantage of another quantum property, teleportation. Teleportation allows information about one particle to be transmitted to another particle some distance away. A quantum computer could use teleportation instead of wires to move bits around inside itself.
Quantum computation has captured the imagination of the scientific community, recasting some of the most puzzling aspects of quantum physics – once pondered by Einstein, Schrödinger and others – in the context of advancing computer science.

Add Comments:QC replaces PC!
I already have a QC…I’m using it from past 10 years…
Hey SNS am darn sure, they forgot to do QC on your head. They should probably recycle you.
SNS I know you are son of Newton uncle.. If you don’t know then ask your mom
pebble and saimmu – why dont you go wash your stupid face. i have a QC for the last 10 years. whats your problem with that.
