Quantum computer one step closer after ‘true’ quantum calculation
An international group of physicists has had an important “first” acknowledged by the journal Nature Photonics: they built the first complete single-qubit system to implement a key algorithm in quantum computing. The research, abstract here, is an end-to-end implementation of a quantum phase estimation algorithm. Quantum phase …
Reg: May I propose....
Register folks: May I propose that the first 20 people to make comments based upon Treknobable references be punished?
Re: Reg: May I propose....
Certainly. As you were the first to raise the subject, your punishment should be the most severe ;-)
p.s. you have just lost The Game.
Re: Reg: May I propose....
You lose additional points for misspelling 'Treknobabble'.
Re: Reg: May I propose....
Phht! Call me when the Heisenberg Compensator is finished.
Send In the Black Helicopters
Quick! Send in the Black Helicopters to prevent the end of the world as we know it as researchers armed with Quantum Computers easily break the world's encryption. :P

You might like to consider, HMB, that researchers armed with Quantum Computers who/which also be armed researchers with Quantum Computers and also Researching Quantum Computer Arms researching Quantum Computer Arms for Advanced Intelligent Military Service and Servers realise Black Helicopter Command and Control is Remotely a TXT Power to be Used and/or Abused as IT decides for Quantum Computer Input to Output for Universal Media ReProgramming of Earthed Assets with Umpteen SMARTR Media Show Streams which are also SMARTR Media Streaming Shows.
Would such a Master Pilot Program be considered too alien and surreal at the human base levels and escape all and any attention and recognition and be totally unhindered and free to do as its and ITs researcher please with SMARTR EMPowering Media Programs and Projects ...... HyperRadioProActive IT.

I trust you are keeping up with things, El Reg? After all, it is not as if you are being kept in the dark about everything, or anything either, is it?
Re: Black Helicopters Herald in Programs and Pogroms, an Intelligence Coup?
So, you turn up, take the piss out of the headline writers, and also the resident nutter? Maybe you should dial it back a little?
Re: Black Helicopters Herald in Programs and Pogroms, an Intelligence Coup?
First rule of El Reg: don't diss El Reg. I do so regularly and all my comments are moderated. They always seem to post my comments in the end, though, so I'm not sure why they bother. Probably to stop me getting into fights.
Second rule of El Reg: if you are going to criticize them, don't criticize them for being a red-top. They're a red-top on purpose. It's ironic - or at least it was. Now it's more self-parody. But, still, it's their identity, and you could no more have El Reg without that than you could have it without Orlowski's broadsheet-quality trolling.
Third rule of El Reg: amanfrommars has been here longer than you have. Even if you are amanfrommars - it's not clear it's even been the same person all this time. And I'm pretty sure his apparent schizophrenia is a put-on.

"Anyone else noticed the ramblings of this nutter appearing on El Reg recently?"
Oh hi, you must be new here.

OK, no Treknobabble...
...but are we allowed to reverse the polarity of the neutron flow?
I think you guys should take this more seriously - there's a lot you can do with one bit. Or is there? (Answer Y or N)
"I think you guys should take this more seriously - there's a lot you can do with one bit. Or is there? (Answer Y or N)"
My answer would be "YN"
RE: a lot you can do with one bit
I vote Y, N, and everywhere in between.
But...
How did I know that the comments section would be filled with drivel of this calibre? No one bothered to ask the most important question of all!
Will it run Crysis?
The future of computing
With quantum computing humanity will finally be able to create a new internet filled with pictures of Schroedinger's lolcats.
Re: The future of computing
pron. It will always be about pron, you heathen.
Re: The future of computing
It is a simple yet guaranteed progression: lolcats --> pron --> squirrels with tits.

Possibly.

Was the answer 42?
Well, was it?
OK, time to go
Mine is the one with the cassette tapes of the radio play in the pocket
Awesome!
Let us be absolutely fucking clear here. I just wrote the following code to test if the answer is correct and voila! It is!
for(int i = 0; i < 256; i++)
{
if(answer == i)
return true;
}
return true;
Fucking A!
