to choose one moment as marking the birth of a technology. But by one common reckoning, quantum computing will be 40 next year. In 1981 Richard Feynman, an American physicist, spoke at a computing conference, observing that “Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.
If those bets pay off, it would be good news, and not just for investors. Quantum computers can perform some sorts of mathematics far faster than any classical machine. Building them could open up entirely new vistas. They may, for instance, revolutionise chemistry. Most reactions are too complex for existing computers to simulate exactly, blunting researchers’ precision.
The state can be one such risk-taker. The first step in building a quantum computer was to conduct plenty of abstruse mathematics on university blackboards. Collectively, governments, including those of America, Britain, China and Germany, have thrown billions of dollars at funding quantum research. The trick for such super-early-stage investors is to know when to stick with a risky prospect and when to call it quits. Good venture capitalists are ruthless about culling underperforming bets and focusing on those that seem to be paying off. Their proximity to markets makes such judgments easier. But governments—which are, after all, spending public money—should strive for the same outlook.
Animated Quantum Computing
Quantum computers are designed to perform only one specific task, right?
It's getting better
Replace the politicians with quantum computers.
It looks like a decorative light fitting. Must have one!
It's about to pay off so in they come to scrape the cream off, fat cats loving it.
No country has chipped in more than Canada for education in quantum. However, whenever it comes to gathering the harvest it lacks the discipline. The same goes for AI.
I thought that was a chandelier in the thumbnail..
Seriously.... 🤦🏻
But I am loosing my money...need computing ability to understand
Seems interest in quantum computing is both dead and alive.
This is cool technology but FAR from commercially viable at this point. That doesn't mean the technology doesn't need investment. It will, but if you plan on getting rich fast from this you're almost sure to be wrong.
Fuck investors. Fuck wall street. Fuck shareholders. The USA is in turmoil and we're headed for the worst depression ion this nations history. And we got the econ waxing on about investors.
But they don’t wanna invest in quantum energy
