China ALSO building encryption-cracking quantum computer:

"It’s not just the NSA that’s said to be working on a quantum computer – China is
also pulling out all the stops to beat its arch rival with a crypto-cracking machine of
its own.

The National Natural Science Foundation of China funded 90 quantum-based
projects in 2013, with the order from Beijing to get the job done irrespective of the
cost, according to South China Morning Post.

"The value of the quantum computer to the military and government is so great, its
cost has never been considered," Zheziang university professor Wang Haohua told
the paper."

^ So they are actually telling the world and the US that they are making a "encryption-cracking quantum computer" as if no one knows who it is for?

Same as the NSA one. It's for everyone.

Yeah, but ain't it pretty clear that they are planning to use it to spy inside NSA?

Anh_Minh · 2014-01-11, 04:49

Well, that would avoid some duplication of effort, since the NSA's already spying on everyone.

But NSA is denying it.... are they... But China on the other hand... is boasting it..

Nanoparticles cause cancer cells to die and stop spreading

For the first time, scientists confirm that sea stars have vision. The eyes at the end of their arms can produce images of about 200 pixels.

Kazakh mathematician claims he solved Navier Stokes existence problem (one of the Clay institute million dollar questions)

Metamaterials could perform calculus with light waves - A properly structured material could convert a light wave to its derivative.

Volcanic lightning recreated in the lab

Harvard team develops a new organic-based flow battery using quinone, a molecule nearly identical to one found in rhubarb. It can be found in green plants or synthesized from crude oil, and costs about $27 per kilowatt hour of storage capacity, compared with $700 for conventional metal batteries.

MIT develops a new "insanely slippery non-stick coating" to eliminate problems with getting things out of jars while simultaneously cutting product waste.

"Dwave saw that between that 128 qubit and 512 qubit, there was a 300,000x
improvement in performance. That kind of performance gain is really unprecedented."

Looks impressive, but it only applies to a narrow problem set. How soon will they
be as versatile as current PC's?

And how soon 'till I can buy a quantum laptop/tablet/desktop/smartphone/whatever?

Se7enSword · 2014-01-14, 02:23

I'm not sure maybe 2 years at best, but it is an improvement over the other Quantum computers that were only operational for 40 minutes and were forced to restart to use them again.

This is a very nice early success story for 2014. I think the prediction I read of gene sequencing snowballing in popularity throughout the second half of the decade's a reasonable one.

6 Shocking Studies That Prove Science Is Totally Broken:

"Even if you're not all that into science, it's still a big part of the news that reaches
you on a day-to-day basis -- you'll see interesting headlines about how studies
show marijuana cures loneliness or how other studies say pot ruins your memory,
and you kind of just assume they're true. If scientists say eating Cheerios will lower
your cholesterol, you feel better about buying them. After all, if you can't trust
scientists, who can you trust?

But one thing we've learned, as a site that likes to publish reader-friendly science
articles that link to these studies, is how much of the stuff that comes our way is,
well, worthless. As it turns out, the problem is ..."

Space fishing: Japan to test 'magnetic net' for space junk:

"Japan's space agency is subcontracting a fishing net company to develop a
technology to clean up the space junk that poses a direct threat to Earth's
communication networks. The mission is planned for 2019, with first tests
scheduled for this February.

Tokyo's Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Nitto Seimo Co, a company with
almost a century-long experience in fishing net manufacturing, have already
developed a space net measuring 1 kilometer long and 30cm wide in a bid to
clear Earth's orbit from some 100 million pieces of man-made junk.

Made of three strong and flexible lengths of metal fiber, the net is scheduled to
be first tested in orbit in February. During the first phase a satellite will unreal a
wire net of some 300 meters long that will use a specially generated magnetic
field to reel-in the debris just above our atmosphere."
