Not exactly I am afraid. There are still huge issues to quantum computing. Namely isolation and data retrieval.
A quantum computer (or at least it's processor) needs to be totally shielded to the outside world while it operates as any interraction or mesurement from the outside world will break the theory. Also, at this moment, you cannot retrieve the processed data without interfering, right? So as soon as you get the data from one of the virtual processors working in 'other worlds', the thing breaks and you can't get anything anymore from it. So it's in fact pretty useless I'm afraid.
I don't think we're going to see a quantum computer in the years to come, and much less under our desks. Even if they were invented I believe our governments will keep them away from us as they could be quite mean to encryption.
This is such a flamebait. How will spyware and viruses be neutralised by this 'really, really cool' DRM technology? Truth is, your kid's computers will not be made any safer by a Fritz chip.
And DRM driving your music and movies price down? I don't think so. As we pretty much all know, prices have never gone up due to piracy. It's merely a pretext the entertainment industry has used to steal more money from the honest consumers.
