Title: Canadians win race to build 'super computer'
Post by: Foxy Brown on February 14, 2007, 05:23:35 PM

A small Canadian company appears to have beaten the world’s research giants in the race to build the world’s first commercially viable “quantum computer”, a breakthrough technology billions of times faster than today’s most powerful computers.

That's because Canada is the only country with natural temperatures within 1/5000th of absolute zero, the precise temperature required for adiabatic quantum computers to run at optimal efficiency and thus saving them greatly on the cost of their super-cooling bill XD

true.. true.. other country need to buy liquid nitrogen to cooldown..

sorry for wrong interpretation <-- sorry if wrongly spell.. my english not good..

^quite a good jk.. this quantum comp got how many core? how much faster than ps3 's cell processor(7 core) ? sorry not so good in techhy..

Quantum computing is such an elusive goal that even the company claiming to have the "world's first commercial quantum computer" acknowledged it isn't entirely sure the machine is performing true quantum calculations. (http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/ptech/02/15/quantum.computer.ap/index.html)

Ahaha that's awesome.
But a freezer sized machine >_> sheesh.
Wait, you think they're saying ground freezer or the fridge freezers?
