1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC
alexhiggins732 writes with this tantalizing PopSci snippet: "A demo of a quantum calculation carried out by Japanese researchers has yielded some pretty mind-blowing results: a single molecule can perform a complex calculation thousands of times faster than a conventional computer. A proof-of-principle test run of a discrete Fourier transform — a common calculation using spectral analysis and data compression, among other things — performed with a single iodine molecule transpired very well, putting all the molecules in your PC to shame."
This.
The only real practical applications for this will be governments breaking the encryption of their citizens.
I can stomp on my keyboard, too AC! fjklf kjfj kbd dbkbhhd hd fkf dkjnb dkdjk sfdnbsdfkjrge a iuqer guiae ughdf! /s, but seriously, that looked about as coherent as what you wrote. I need to take more of the maths. 8^(
For the love of god! Why is it so damn difficult to
understand how quantum mechanics works? I think it's a bunch of voodoo
concocted by a bunch of guys who found a way to use the LHC to make the world go
kaboom!
Your tax dollars at work. It seems they've finally found a way to get their overlords to
obey their every whims with unlimited grant money, no doubt
ushering in a new age of scientific fraud
!
Honestly, now. How quickly do you sunlight-starved pervs need to access your petabytes of tentacle and RMS porn? Wouldn't it be much easier to just get a haircut, take a shower, and try to look at a REAL vagina?

Yes, especially from Africans, since they're just as intelligent as all the other races.
Oh, wait...
Why wasn't I surprised to see that this was developed by Japanese scientists, and not Africans?
Why aren't Japanese people flooding into white countries? Could it possibly be because they have made their country a decent place to live, whereas all the third world scum have NOT?
Your children are going to hate you for the legacy you have left them - a battle against millions of hate-filled, selfish, parasitic third worlders, in their own country.
