Light-based Quantum Circuit Does Basic Maths
Stochastism writes "In yet another small step toward realistic quantum computing Australian researchers have developed a light based 4-qubit quantum computer. It has already calculated the prime roots of fifteen, three and five. 'The quantum circuit pioneered by the Queensland researchers involves using a laser to send "entangled" photons through a linear optical circuit ... The Queensland research group acknowledged that the theorised code cracking ability of quantum computers may be why Australian quantum computer research is in part funded by a US government defence intelligence agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).'"
Seven! It does seven maths!
More importantly, can it run Crysis?
Fear the penguin.

4 qubits? How much is that in furlongs?
hectares?
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
I wonder if Moore's law will apply to the number of qubits within a quantum computer as well. A 1024 qubit computer within the next 20 years would be nice.
Parse error! Parse error!
I, too, have already calculated the prime roots of fifteen, with nearly identical results. Where's my DARPA funding?
There's more Americans who speak English than there are British. Therefore, we win! Majority rule!
Q: What kind of room is it kept it?
A: A Qubicle
Q: How big is it?
A: About four Qubit meters.
Q: Qubit? Wasn't that an early arcade game with a little guy jumping around changing the quantum state of a bunch of Qubes?
I have OBVIOUSLY had too much Qaffeine.
Veritas patesco per quaestio questio. Truth is revealed through questions.
Mathematical of course. Because this is English. We don't remove suffixes, we ADD them.

The laws of probability forbid it!
You've apparently never taken a look at the lyrics to Waltzing Matilda.
Computerized Australian Technology...until you take a good look at it.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
I once new a guy who could compute the prime roots of 15 in his head.

I mod down every jackass who puts his moderation policy in his sig. Oh, wait a sec....
Computerized Australian Technology lives.....until you take a good look at it.

So basically, technology has given us quantum computers in the future, but users are still stupid enough to deliberately put Windoze on a Macintosh machine?
That says something about life.
CRAP! 15 was my RSA public key!
