Please give a reference for quantum computers in actual use that tells what they can actually do.Fooality said:quantum computers are in use now.
don't improve upon classical computing equipment:Fooality said:D-Wave Systems
One should not be misled by the word "commercial". It means that you can buy it if you want, but it doesn't mean that it is used for practical purposes such as business, banking, security, intelligence or military. It's only use at the moment is for academic studies of quantum computers as such.Fooality said:commercially available quantum computer"

as far as I can tell, the new work is a genuine milestone in experimental QC, because it dispenses with most of the precompilation tricks that previous demonstrations of Shor’s algorithm used.
Quantum computing is a form of computing that uses quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. This allows quantum computers to solve certain problems more efficiently than classical computers.
The current status of quantum computing is still in its early stages. While there have been significant advancements and breakthroughs in the technology, it is still not widely available for commercial use. Many companies and research institutions are investing in developing quantum computers, but it may still be several years before they become mainstream.
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize many industries, including finance, healthcare, and cybersecurity. It could also greatly impact fields such as drug discovery, materials science, and artificial intelligence. Quantum computers have the ability to solve complex problems that are currently impossible for classical computers to solve efficiently.
One of the biggest challenges facing quantum computing is the issue of scalability. While quantum computers have shown impressive capabilities in solving certain problems, they currently have limited computing power compared to classical computers. There is also the challenge of maintaining the delicate quantum state of the system, as any external interference can cause errors in the calculations.
It is unlikely that quantum computing will completely replace classical computing. While quantum computers have the potential to solve certain problems more efficiently, they are not ideal for all types of computing tasks. It is more likely that quantum and classical computing will be used together, with each being utilized for their respective strengths.
