Opening Quantum Computing To the Public
director_mr writes "Tom's Hardware is running a story with an interesting description of a 28-qubit quantum computer that was developed by D-Wave Systems. They intend to open up use of their quantum computer to the public. It is particularly good at pattern recognition, it operates at 10 milliKelvin, and it is shielded to limit electromagnetic interference to one nanotesla in three dimensions across the whole chip. Could this be the first successful commercial quantum computer?"
D-Wave is obviously running an elaborate hoax or scam. In my opinion, any company that claims to have a working quantum computer is either perpetrating a fraud or is fooled by its own crackpottery. Quantum computing is one of the biggest hoaxes in the history of science, second only to anthropogenic global warming. And by the way, Oxford's David Deutsch, the most visible proponent of quantum computing, is a known time travel believing crackpot. You can mod me down as much as you want but it is the truth. No amount of censorship can suppress the truth forever.
Like most physicists (and wannabes), you're just a pompous condescending asshole. You haven't the faintest clue as to what is really going on in the light experiment you proposed. You have no idea what the real properties of light are at the particle level. You are just guessing. Light isn't in any way special. Please! Are you fucking kidding me? Light is special to the extreme and none of you pompous asses are close to understanding what light is and how it really works. The experiment you suggested has nothing to do with observing state superposition. You have not observed any kind of superposition. You are just interpreting the result of an experiment using assertion as proof. Superposition is unobservable by definition. It is a mere interpretation, goddamnit, a billion quantum computing fanatics jumping up and down and foaming at the mouth notwithstanding. LOL. Before you can even begin to talk about superposition, you need to explain why the decay interval of subatomic particle is probabilistic. You haven't a clue. Until you get one, you are all a bunch of ignoramuses and scam artists braying at the moon.
PS. You crackpots need to show that you have guts and sign your names to your articles. I face the music and so should you.
