The reality of quantum computing could be just three years away

Quantum computing has moved out of the realm of theoretical physics and into the real world, but its potential and promise are still years away.

Onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, a powerhouse in the world of quantum research and a young upstart in the field presented visions for the future of the industry that illustrated both how far the industry has come and how far the technology has to go.

For both Dario Gil, the chief operating officer of IBM Research and the company’s vice president of artificial intelligence and quantum computing, and Chad Rigetti, a former IBM researcher who founded Rigetti Computing and serves as its chief executive, the moment that a quantum computer will be able to perform operations better than a classical computer is only three years away.

Do you think one of those computers will be able to figure out the old age mystery of why Hillary Clinton can commit one felony after another for decades and absolutely nothing happens to her, not even a parking ticket?

That’s the kind of question that made HAL go crazy.

That’s easy!

Those 900 FBI files she got when Bill was in the White House are still paying dividends.

Could Lotus Notes run properly?

Notes and printers are equally evil to me.

How about Symphony, Word Star and DBase3?

It has the benefit of a more predictable pronunciation, unlike trinary.

I was a Notes developer for a few years. Gave me more angst than my teenage kids.

I’m sure those are OK.

Notes is a program that is a random source of extreme frustration where I am.

It was supposed to die years ago but it keeps hanging on.

Any excuse to bash Notes is never passed up.

I really think that is the reason. Blackmail is the best explanation as to why that bitch is untouchable.

I could only imagine the angst.

Our local notes guru retired last year. At times that absence was very noticeable.

I have a few tricks to make it behave but if it goes wacko, the fun really begins.

We already know the answer: The answer is to protect Hillary above all else. It’s her universe and we merely orbit her. The President must be impeached and jailed because it was HER time!

The words “Vince Foster” probably carry a lot of weight among certain higher circles in addition to the massive power of blackmail.
