This is coming from a dunce with a 1.7GPA

Pat struggled with Algebra II.

 

[BakersfieldChimp]

Pat struggled with Algebra II.

And outright failed high school chemistry and physics. He's a moron. And fat.

 

[Upton Baby Sinclair]

This is probably more his speed for science

Rick is an intellectual (and otherwise) heavyweight on twitter. Get ready shut in cat ladies, here comes a fat take.

 

[Dummy Gaynuts]

this nigger is barely literate

 

[Slackjawed Cow]

This is pretty telling that he thinks he is self teaching by googling everything and chalking up to being able to speak on topics out of his scope but there are certain subjects like quantum physics/math that you need more than google to wrap your head around it.

[SFWA liaison]

I heard quantum computers are so sophisticated that they can even divide zero.

 

[Stent]

That's his ADHD nightwatchman instinct kicking in. It's telling him to go to bed so he can stay up all night defending his tribe from unwanted daughters.

 

[LongIslandchomper]

Nigger can't wrap his brain around 1s and 0s, let alone quantum computing.

 

[guest]

Wave particle duality damn it, child.

I can't wait for Patrick to make a slideshow on why the father of quantum computing is full of shit after he voted for a republican

Listen champ, CF needs a win before he swims with the big fish. Sting blew in off the wind one day and lit his ass up the next. Do you really wanna fight a guy who's 0-1? It'd be fish in a barrel. If this bit comes back it's NPAnus vs Dan (w/ manager robert mewler, maybe dressed as Mr Fuji). You can have whatever's left of the winner. We'll correlate schedules around Summerslam, that's if we don't get more static from the peanut gallery. I must say though it was enjoyable pissing this many of the staff off with it, like the worst inter-branch contest ever.



The guy who you're replying to made us laugh the hardest. It's not like we've made a secret about being Jewish to a man up here and everyone had a chance to make it happen, in fact, once you won the 1st heat it was what we were driving at til Sting showed up.



The whole reason we started this was a microcosmic version of what we have now. Stirring up shit to force people to say what they really mean to each other instead of being pussies and hiding behind a block button (it's in the preamble to the 1st one if you think we're making that up as some kinda retroactive explanation). Truth is, we didn't know you had everyone on the board behind you. It kinda fucked over our "psy-op" for what we thought would happen (CF vs Tony) but we just kinda had to roll with it whilst gritting our teeth and wishing it was over.



Anyhow they're calling my flight now,

Try this:

Computers store information as ones and zeros or "bits", and they group those bits together into "bytes". Eight bits to a byte, and in that byte you can store any number between 0 and 255.

Quantum computers use "Quantum bits" or "Qubits", which again can be one or zero; but they can kind of float between them before they settle on one or the other. Scientists use this floating to perform calculations; they'll set a constraint ("I need a number that's bigger than 50, but smaller than 52") and all the qubits in the byte will float between one and zero until they come up with the right answer. This is useful because you can set a lot of constraints ("Alice wants a number larger than twenty, but Bob wants a number less than 100, and Charlie wants a number that's even, and Danielle wants...") and those floating qubits can effectively try all possible numbers against all of those constraints at once, and come up with the right answer almost instantly.

Right now we can make a quantum computer which can solve problems up to 127 bits long (IBM's Eagle) which isn't much; but in time we'll be able to build larger ones that can solve bigger problems just as quickly. One day an airline is going to be able to feed its massive list of constraints into a quantum computer ("I need to get x people to Los Angeles and y people to New York and z people to Denver, and I have the following planes and staff and fuel and landing slots and rest breaks and maintenance windows to do it") and the quantum computer will come up with the best possible solution in seconds.

If you read those seven sentences you now have a better understanding of quantum computing than our cross-eyed "Milspec Sci Fi" writing dunce.

When talking specifically about scalable quantum computers, i.e. conquering the error threshold, it’s probably safe to say that they're physically impossible to build in any practical sense. It’s like how nuclear fusion is always 30 years away. It’s theoretically possible but every answer provides 100 more questions. Maybe they’ll be another 50 major breakthroughs but who knows? I doubt it, Patrick certainly has no idea what he’s talking about.
