Its another world :w00t:

Google says an advanced computer has achieved "quantum supremacy" for the first time, surpassing the performance of conventional devices.The technology giant's Sycamore quantum processor was able to perform a specific task in 200 seconds that would take the world's best supercomputers 10,000 years to complete.

In classical computers, the unit of information is called a "bit" and can have a value of either 1 or 0. But its equivalent in a quantum system - the qubit (quantum bit) - can be both 1 and 0 at the same time.

It will Change computers but years off ending up on your desk or hone. 

not likely more spam but it will mean computers will be able to work out what you had for breakfast and what breakfast you want tomorrow and where to buy it from. 
 

the phone I am typing this on has more computer power memory and storage than the first mainframe I kept going with 3 on a shift 24/7.  It needed 3phase feed a huge room then there was the cooling.

Here's a simple explanation:

A quantum effect is any consequence of wave-particle duality. In atomic physics both momentum p and energy E of a particle are manifested as a wave having respectively wavelength λ = h/p and period t = h/E (more often written as E = hν where frequency ν is the reciprocal of period t).

All clear now?

Now then dichman yep your right and I am going off to google Patrica Preece.

if you said 35 years ago that we had computers in our pocket that you held in your hand could send letters instantly to the other side of the world  Take pictures and send them. Have a 2 way chat and be able to see each other. Order somthing at 10 at night and it would be delivered tomorrow. you’d have been carted of to the nut house !
