Will the QC kill the PC?

But you'll be looking at Sky.Net through Windows. Does this mean that the terminators will crash every 1/2 hour?

It's best that way. It's the only way to ensure garbage collection.

No, but video killed the radio star.

In the three movies, how many times have we seen the T-800 reboot? It's been obvious since 1991 and T-2 that Sky.Net was a superset of Windows. edit: reference to T-1 and 1984 removed to eliminate time paradox

Oh crap, that's scary! If it does I'll have to throw in the garbage everything I learned since my first 'Hello world!'.

I hear the first operational Quantum Computer is going to run an OS called Sky.Net.

That is, something OTHER than "Are you sure?"
"impossible" is just an opinion.

No. A QC will still be a PC.

Now we will receive millions times more spam and malware than we do already. Remember the spammers will have those machines as well. Then when Q-McAfee comes out it will proceed to absorb a huge chunk of QAM and QPU like it does now with RAM and CPU. It still boggles my mind that McAfee currently occupies over 100 times the original PC's memory space. Q-Vista will run slower than ever. On the up side you can get all the pron on the internet instantaneously.

Why does "everyone" (=journalists) think that quantum computers will be much faster than traditional computers? Quantum computers are no magic machines that can brute-force anything in parallel. AFAIK, they don't make breaking AES easier. So far, there are only a few quantum algorithms that are significantly better than the best known traditional counterpart. Unfortunately, factoring large numbers is one of them, so basically all asymmetric cryptography is broken.
Of course this is still all theoretical. It's never been done--I'm pretty sure that would be big news.

It's already been done with a handful of qubits. The existing quantum computers have so few qubits that the numbers that can be factored by them are so small that can be factored easily using pen and paper, but that's going to change as larger quantum computers get build. Sure, scaling up quantum computers is a huge technical problem, but I think it'll be solved soon.

Interesting. I wasn't even aware they had been able to do it on a small scale yet. The one question I have based on my limited knowledge, is how are the results "found" after they are supposedly computed in parallel? That is, if the power of quantum computing arises from its supposed ability to perform many many (i.e. "all") iterations at the same time, does this not merely result in a set of all possible results? If so, how is the "right" result found, and moreover, the input that resulted in that result determined from it?
