I was aware of the voices about quantum computers may be an issue for digital security. I wasn't aware of methods of encryption/decryption available which will cause issues for quantum computers to crack. Great these methods exists!
Regarding quantum computers and the race to get them in the market: not only IBM is trying to create a quantum computer, or at least investing in it big time. Many others try to do so as well such as Google, Microsoft, Airbus, Alibaba, BT, HP, Intel, Lockheed Martin, Mitsubishi, NEC, Nokia, NTT, Raytheon, Toshiba just to name a few big corporations. Next to that a whole lot of new startups are entering the game. D-Wave already has a quantum computer for sale.
Regarding your comment quantum computers may be too expensive for the common man the buy. Well, what about cloud based quantum computing? IBM already announced last year they want to offer this. I'm sure with the whole shift from local installed hardware and software to cloud based service, many other companies will start offering quantum computing from the cloud.
Hi! I was not thinking about IBM creating a QUIP, I was mentioning that ibm wants to sell it in the market... many vendors are having those machines, but not all of them are selling. So the point is not to create them, is to sell them to anyone has the money.
Sure, also D-Wave is doing it as a service... but. Although Bernstein and Vazirani proved QUIP is Turing Complete ( http://epubs.siam.org/doi/abs/10.1137/S0097539796300921) , an SDK which can run any algorithm we run on normal computers is far to come. IBM and D-WAVE have their own SDK , sure, but it is very hard to say "you code and you run". Just to code needs to understand how the machine works, which makes development suitable for a very restricted club of people.
(btw, I will also answer you to your request of a chat, I only have remains of time for steemit, sorry for that.)
