Is it akin to the revolutionary code-breaking system from Digital Fortress called TRANSLTR?

I hope it won’t.

      As a 70-qubit quantum computer, it’s not going to be doing many helpful calculations. The benchmark used is random circuit sampling, which is doing a bunch of random quantum operations, and then reading the result, and it is compared to a supercomputer simulating the various random operations. This algorithm isn’t useful outside of benchmarking.

      This also makes Sycamore a particularly ineffective “weapon” considering that we don’t really use encryption that’s less than 1024 bits, which is well outside of the capability of our current quantum computers.

        Its cool to see that lemmy/kbin have such a diverse user base

        I mean, there’s not much you can currently do on quantum computers. It’s basically either cracking encryptions or folding proteins at this point.

        And quantum-proof encryption already exists.

        (I’m oversimplifying, but quantum computer isn’t a faster computer. It’s just one that can solve a really narrow problem set faster. But you need a task that’s basically find 1 random correct answer out of these lots of possibilities. It won’t run Crysis. )
