Comments on: Lockheed Martin wants to use a quantum computer to develop radar, aircraft systems http://gigaom.com/2013/03/22/lockheed-martin-wants-to-use-a-quantum-computer-to-develop-radar-aircraft-systems/ Thu, 20 Jun 2013 00:15:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: SpaceJunk http://gigaom.com/2013/03/22/lockheed-martin-wants-to-use-a-quantum-computer-to-develop-radar-aircraft-systems/#comment-1323355 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:01:14 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=623553#comment-1323355 If I was Lockheed I think I would first use these computers to thwart cyber attacks. I would think no silicon based computer could get past a firewall using quantum computers.

I suppose the image search for qbits didn’t produce anything we could use :)

I can see the arms race developing before our eyes for the first real quantum computer (assuming Lockheed’s is not one, although I think it is).

The more people use it, the faster it will get developed.

I apologize but… I didn’t even know this site existed until about 45 seconds ago. Moreover, I don’t know that I will ever return… and considering the checkpoint to rearrange ‘Privacy Policy’, not sure I would want to, lol. Good story nonetheless.

They have published results demonstrating this in Nature, and have recently measured entanglement in their processors. It isn’t a gate model quantum computer, which is a good thing, because there aren’t any of those.

The real quantum computer utilized the qubits which consists of subatomic particles-such as spin of electrons etc. The current quantum computers do at the most find factors such as for the number 21 the quantum computers says the factors are 7 and 3. So the real quantum computers running on quantum superimposition are not ready to take the big problems yet.

I think this dramatically helps increase the advancement in modern medical practises in finding practical solutions in the fight what are curable and sometimes preventable illnesses.
