- If you always wanted a quantum computer of your own but didn't have the millions of dollars and the endless rivers of liquid helium SpinQ has three portable models designed just for you sort of. (Tom's Hardware)
I say sort of because the theoretical capacity of a quantum computer scales exponentially with the number of qubits - each qubit essentially being another orthogonal dimension of parallel universes that the computer can compute in. IBM just announced a 433 qubit quantum computer, and 2^433 is a very big number.
This matters because if SpinQ announced a cheap portable quantum computer with a large number of qubits we'd know immediately that it was bullshit. But the SpinQ qubit count maxes out at... 3.
So, yeah, I'm prepared to believe that a $57,000, 90lb quantum that is slower than a first generation iPhone might actually exist.
Probably not a hot item this Christmas though.
- All my remaining Amazon packages arrived today, including one from Kentucky that took an interesting route to get here.
So I ordered some more.
- Guests arrive on the 27th. Gotta vacuum, or paint, or plant vines, or whatever you're supposed to do when you have guests.
