How powerful would a dream quantum computer be?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the concept of an advanced Personal Quantum Computer (PQC) featuring futuristic specifications, including a 4MQ processor, 1TB time crystal memory, and a 2PB atomic storage hard drive. It also includes a 3D quantum dot screen with a holographic display, a multifunctional quantum device for printing and scanning, a high-performance webcam, and a quantum cryptography network card. However, there are concerns regarding the practicality of time crystals for data storage and the need for processors that can handle traditional bits. Suggestions for alternative specifications include using multiple cores with substantial local storage and efficient power consumption. The thread also notes that the topic may not align with the forum's rules regarding science fiction discussions.

Just for fun let's imagine a dream PQC (Personal Quantum Computer) from the future:

Specifications:
- 4MQ Processer (4MQ = 4 Mega Qubits)
- 1TB Time Crystal Memory
- 2PB Atomic Storage Hard Drive (Peta Byte=1000TB)
- 3D Quantum Dot Screen with built in Holographic Display
- All in one Quantum Teleportation Fax + Quantum 3D printer + Quantum 3D scanner
- 1Terra FPS Webcam
- Quantum Cryptography Network card

I wonder how many FPS I will get if I run "Far Cry Primal" on this :smile:

Time crystal are not particularly good for storing and recovering data.
You will also need a processor (or an array of processors) that work with regular (non-quantum) bit.
So how about 1TCores each with 1TBytes of local storage a 1THz cycle time operating with only 10Watts of power?
 

Thread 'Stories about not so soft space fighters'

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Avatar (film): antigravity and unobtanium'

I thought I had discovered a giant plot hole in Avatar universe, but apparently it's based on a faulty notion. So, the anti-gravity effect that lifts whole mountains into the sky is unrelated to the unobtanium deposits? Apparently the value of unobtanium is in its property as a room temperature superconductor, which enables their superluminal drive technology. Unobtanium is found in large deposits underground, which is why they want to mine the ground. OK. So, these mountains - which...

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?
