On the topic of fast computing – Quantum Computers
Since we are on the topic of fast computers and ultra fast ISP’s we might as well define and shed some light on what a quantum computer is. A quantum computer processes information through atoms and molecules vs. the traditional silicon-based PCs we know today. Quantum computers already exist, but have not been commercialized into what we would consider a practical system.
The only non-tech way to explain how this works is by discussing the old binary system. A square could only hold a value of 1 or 0. In a quantum environment, there could be values of 1 or 0 and all points in between 1 and 0.
For those interested, there is a wealth of information on howstuffworks.com.
