Finally, a Quantumputer...




Its here. Finally, humanity has arrived into the era of quantum computing. All our problems are solved! Hurrah!!!

Ok, aside from all the hype, this IS a major breakthrough for planet Earth's dominant residents. We have barely begun to understand quantum tech, and this promises to integrate it inextricably into our day-to-day lives. Take a look at the backlink (Click on the title of this post).

Fears are now bound to arise over the possibility of a real MULTIVAC scenario (for those of you who read sci-fi in English Class). Financial Optimization is just one of the fields this will revolutionize. I can't even fully contemplate of the boundless possibilities that this will open up for our scientists and technologists. And it comes from Canada, a hitherto relatively backwater techology state in terms of public technological research. Just goes to show that the underdog always has a few surprises in store.

For a quick peek into just what this is all about, visit :

QC on Wiki

This is a bit technical. I remember writing about QC in one of my II sem assignments on Emerging Technologies. I was scoffed at for trying to put sci-fi into a technical paper. Vindicated, is the word I believe, to be used now...

Quantum computers aren't a new concept. The idea has been around for years now ( QC over the Years )

Other revolutionary computing technologies coming to break us away from just digicomps (Digital Computers) are:



Keep praying, techies...
