Quantum computer faster than regular computer?

AI Thread Summary
Quantum computers are theoretically faster than classical computers primarily due to their ability to leverage quantum bits (qubits), which can exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling parallel processing. This characteristic allows quantum computers to perform complex calculations more efficiently than traditional binary systems. However, as of now, functional quantum computers are limited, with existing models like D-Wave's systems being algorithm-restricted and lacking proven quantum processing capabilities. The potential for quantum computing lies in its unique processing power, but practical applications and fully operational quantum systems are still in development.

Why is a quantum computer theoretically faster than a regular computer? Is it because of parallelization?

It is clearly outlined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer

There really arent any functional quantum computers at the moment - Dwave One obviously have their "quantum computer" which they developed for Lockhead and Martin but it is algorithm restricted and has never proven its quantum processing.
 

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
