the more qubits we use in Willow, the more we reduce errors, and the more quantum the system becomes.
kjj what a phrase
It lends credence to the notion that quantum computation occurs in many parallel universes, in line with the idea that we live in a multiverse, a prediction first made by David Deutsch.

God, this is basically the same as those 19th century flim-flam men
I, Phineas Q. Swenson, have combed the globe and brought you wonders and panaceas! For example, from the mysterious far away Eastern Nation of Austria, I bring you the Curative Galvanic Belt! It is guaranteed to restore your vigor, revitalize your vim, and restore your moral and physical pulchritudinous! That's right, for the low price of two, that's right, two American dollars, you too can experience the power of Zeus' lightning, in your trousers!
Now Gemini can be wrong across multiple dimensions
This includes helping us discover new medicines, designing more efficient batteries for electric cars, and accelerating progress in fusion and new energy alternatives. Many of these future game-changing applications won’t be feasible on classical computers; they’re waiting to be unlocked with quantum computing.
Indistinguishable from the OpenAI grift and the AI grift in general. Tendency for the rate of profit to fall can totally be defeated by investing in the black hole of compute with no real goal in sight.
Quantum computers have so much potential for really useful stuff. I’m excited to see if they manage to get them to their promise within my lifetime.
Can this thing predict the future?
As soon as the billionaires have a tool like that in their hands we are doomed forever. And I assume they will eventually have something that can do a good enough job of it that they will be able to use it to remain in control forever. Maybe they already do? They surely wouldn’t tell us.
Cool. Cool.
What if the tool just predicts communism no matter the change, and they shutter the project.
That would be lovely. If that is the case I hope someone leaks the results. Lol.
all a quantum computer is good for is breaking encryption, which can then be solved with quantum encryption, so sell computers to protect against the computers you created
so sell computers to protect against the computers you created
Quantum-resistant cryptography doesn’t inherently require quantum computers, to my knowledge–you just need to pick a problem that’s difficult for quantum computers to reverse but still reasonable for non-quantum computers to handle.
Na, they have a lot of other potential uses.
No, we will just use quantum resistant crypto schemes on classical computers
Quantum cryptography is very prohibitive in general and realistically won’t ever be available for consumers
This has the potential to destroy Bitcoin.
If this thing can perform simple addition is be a bit surprised. I just don’t really believe anything western tech claims anymore
Does anyone know how quantum computing works? The way I understand it it’s like using the superpositioning of electrons as transitors? How the fuck does that work?
AFAIK it uses spheres instead of positive and negative binary magnets. So the direction the electron hits the sphere changes what the data is. Instead of having only 1s and 0s (representing positive and negative charges), you have 1 through 360.
The hard part has been the math. Humans like to do things one at a time when it comes to numbers. In “1+2+5” you add 1 and 2 together, then 3 and 5. This is easy to represent in binary. But when you can do hundreds of things simultaneously? Our brains don’t work that way and it’s difficult coming up with programming languages for that type of computing. On quantum computers, you’re basically stuck programming everything in the equivalent to hexadecimal, rather than something like Python or C.
I could also be talking out my ass because this was explained to me like 20 years ago in high school programming when I was jacked up on Mountain Dew.
Jesus Christ I hate Google so fucking much
Can they not just present a finding without the most extreme marketing slant? How am I expected to believe this won’t be another case of gEMiNi
Lmao they even gave it an anthropomorphic name, can’t put my hate for this shit into words
