Why is quantum computing a meme?

I have multiple questions for you morons.

Are humans just smart enough to discover it, but not smart enough to master it?

Also how long until we probably have reliable quantum computers, and how long before we have quantum computers merged with AI.

And how long before we have quantum ai improving itself?

Also what are the odds the NSA has a working quantum computer, and have probably had it for at least a decade.. making the IBM ones look like memes.

      When it is finally revealed that Qbit Computing has been miniaturized (lol) we are going to see a new race to accumulate cold nuggets while confused normalites remain chained to the hot boxes, typing away with curry-flavored AI in old dead languages designed by the sharting grandparents of seething glow-in-the-dark agents.

        All of those applications are theoretical.

        Anyway I think it won't happen until we have a fuller understanding of quantum physics. Much of it is still a mystery. Right now they are just probability machines. It will be a long time before we can fully explain the results and get immediate output - right now the output is fed into a traditional computer for analysis.

    It's not at all mature yet. Give it 50 years and you might start seeing it used more generally. IMO though, without a revolution in quantum computing, these devices will always require some sort of centralized system or several, which limits their applicability.

      What if there is a working one though, I believe quantum physics was first discovered in the 1920s... pretty sure the government has one somewhere.

        The first computers came about in the 19th century. There is a massive gulf between when things are first discovered/put into some use and when they become viable.

      Eventually like another guy said. In 50-60 years it will be standard technology. Sooner if they're able to conjoin it with artificial intelligence, which will tell us how to get it to work.

    If it couldn't be done in the 60s, it cant be done today.
    See: lunar shuttles and spacesuits that we cant figure out how to make anymore. The engineers in the 60s were a different breed. Today's talent is lacking.

    Has anybody ever solved a problem with a quantum computer? Or at least written a program for a simulator/experimental computer that would solve a problem if it could be run on a big enough machine?

      IBM is supposedly the pioneer in the private sector for quantum computers. We don't know what the government has, but since the military is usually 30 years ahead of civilian technology, the answer to your question is more than likely yes.

        So you don't know.

          I don't know, but if I had to bet I would say yes. Considering what the private sector has vs what the military would have. Yeah...IBM has already proved it can solve complex functions but to see one as an everyday use case I would imagine that would be owned by the government.

          Looking at the timeline of how computers evolved, they had 16,000 bit computers in the 70s.

        I hate this meme so much.

        You just learned the F-22 uses 100Mhz Pentiums built on 500nm litho.

          The double slit experiment sounds like bull shit. My guess on it is that the true science behind it is locked up behind government clearances and academia has no access to this.

          That being said, it's not a leap to assume, unlike tech like AI, and other public tech, have a working quantum computer.

          I agree, with most tech they are not 30 years ahead, the industry is actually "ahead" in most areas. Like i mentioned though, with tech like this, they are likely ahead of the industry.

          That's just my laymen take on the issue, I could be very wrong.

            Very common too, and I understand why having been there myself.

            "The military", what they do is undertake feasibility studies for future technology.
            Basically, some smart people see that we need X level of super fighter plane by year xxxx, some other very smart people draft plans and proposals to fit the requirements, and 15 years before the plane is built some very very smart people are paid to figure out how to get it done by that year xxxx. The rest is just developing designs, tech, the manufacturing chain, and making it work.
            In a generic way this flow of work applies to pretty much everything in the military.
            It isn't "the government has ultra alien computers from the year 2055" its that they use the resources to plan for and make tech advances (in the military sector) 10 and more years ahead of time, because research and development is a very long process.

            Now, things like NVDs, radar, secret-class materials like armours and stealth stuff, etc. are "30 years ahead" in the sense that they are strictly kept secrets and people arent ALLOWED to make or sell such things until that generation of thing is so old it doesn't benefit enemies.

      Quick Google search says that IBM was able to solve a function using the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, which is used to determine whether a function is constant or balanced. In a classical computer, this would require two queries to the function for each input, whereas a quantum computer can solve the problem with only one query.

      Another example was Shor's algorithm, which can find prime factors of an integer exponentially faster than traditional computers. IBM successfully conducted this experiment on a quantum machine in 2001.

    IIRC the main issue with quantum computing is that there is currently no RAM equivalent for quantum computations.
