Google builds a working quantum computer - Unexplained Mysteries

Unlike regular computers which encode data in to bits that can hold a state of either '1' or '0', quantum computers use quantum bits which can exist in both a '1' and '0' state simultaneously.

By using special techniques to manipulate these units of quantum information it becomes possible for a computer to perform a whole series of mathematical calculations all at the same time.

The search giant's new 'D-Wave X2' quantum supercomputer takes advantage of these methods to carry out problem solving at speeds of up to 100 million times faster than a standard computer.

Even NASA has been collaborating with Google on the project with exploration director Rupak Biswas describing it as 'a truly disruptive technology that could change how we do everything.'

Looks who is posting computer stuff ! This guy sounds like Dracula.

He has to beat me first

Oh dear Goddess....here we go...the competition begins! lol

He DOES look like Dracula!

Lets say somebody made your PC 50 million times faster this week ,and the next week they again made your PC faster to bring it up to that 100 million times faster mark.Would any body notice the difference between week one and week two.?

Only for certain kinds of problems. Quantum computers are not general purpose information processing engines (at least, so far as is known at present).
