Link This should produce some interesting results. Can you imagine being the IT person who has to replace a faulty niobium chip cooled to near-absolute zero? Yeesh.
Yes, but unfortunately, the player is killed by all of the monsters in the game simultaneously. I'm going to try to get over to the museum on the 13th to see this (Mountain View is about a ten minute drive from where I work).
Interesting tho I don't understand the concept of quantum computing. Just can't wrap my brain around how you'd use something that's defined by the Uncertainty Principle to calculate more accurate. I'm looking forward to it saying 42! in a rather loud and godlike voice.
Interesting, if practical. I'm wondering how this will change the face of supercomputing. One area in particular could benefit from a big jump in computing power: hurricane forecasting. The complexities of weather forecasting are enormous and the programs forecasters use are enormous.
When it comes down to it, semiconductors work off the uncertaintly principle (just not so directly) your PC chips use uncertainty about 1/2 a billion times a second
I just want to know when I'll get to start leaping into other people's lives from within my own lifetime.
I tried to get over to see it, but the registration was closed. I left a message with D-Wave, seeing if I could get in, but they never got back to me. It's just as well. It was at 8:30 this morning and I would've had to fight my way through the worst of Silicon Valley traffic to get there...
Gee thanks for that link, Cass. It really helped a lot. I understand everything perfectly now. *Mike goes off to find another beer*
Amazing! Well, if I'm going to learn how to fix this computer system, I need to buy me some anza brushes and a niad converter. -J.
