Getting closer all the time! Ran across a couple of interesting articles this morning. Google Researchers Make Quantum Computing Components More Reliable[^] Google Launches Effort to Build Its Own Quantum Computer[^]
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0 My goal in life is to have a psychiatric disorder named after me. I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Thanks for the links! I know Microsoft is pushing in that area as well[^] I hope someone develops one during my lifetime - its gonna be amazing.
Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.
It will be amazing to see how far they can go with this.

I would love to see it but doubtful in my lifetime.

I would really like to be just starting out and watching the technology evolve. The technology I have seen evolve in my lifetime will be quaint when viewed 20/30 years from now.

The only saving grace for us is that we can say we lived to see all the changes that took place during out life time and since nothing is given they can't say for certain that they'll live to see it. We could blow ourselves up tomorrow?

We have come close before so it is a possibility. :sigh: One of the reasons I live in this part of the world. Less likely to be a target of a direct strike. Not saying that surviving will be much fun. Of course I must consider that I am currently living under Martial Law. Luckily out in the hinterland life goes on pretty much unaffected.

With the ability to write simulators and virtual machines... I am quite surprised that they are building chips. I would have assumed that they simulated 2 ways of doing things, and proved the qubits work. I do fully expect it to be in my life time. In my grandmas lifetime, she went from an outdoor bathroom without electricity, to just now. We walked on the moon. We print organs, and the space station printed a tool. We have LED lights. While I could see it taking 30 years, even Gary Kasparov missed how fast these things mature. We used to say things like "Nobody needs more than 640K" to "Design without limits". My phone has more CPU and Memory than the computers that put people on the moon! Having grown up with Tape Drives and paper terminals... We are already light years ahead, and the rate of change appears to be increasing still... Moores law should have died a decade ago. But these sneaky engineers keep thinking outside the box. (BTW, my professor, in 1990 had a proof that they could not do it again, based on the speed of light, and the physical width of the chip. I Believe they simply made the chip taller and put the timing stuff through the middle of the chip. Getting another doubling. So, I thought it was close back then.) I have since adopted a more enlightened view that we will find a way. That said, this quantum computing has parallels with bad science. Building it before simulating it bothers me a lot. In my AI class we built neural networks, and trained them. We could "prove" learning theory. We could "predict" human learning problems (grammar exceptions that tripped up the AI, would trip up a human, until memorized)...

Ah - but have you ever played with a KSR 35, PDP 8, Varian Data Machines 16 bit computer? I have!

No but I did have an Altair 8800[^].
