Decomposed> *ahem* I still say that quantum computers exist.
Ever since D-Wave arrived on the scene with a type of quantum computer capable of performing a problem-solving process called annealing,
Zim: Do 'quantum computers' give repetitive results?
Can the quantum computers be benchmarked against our
existing 'classical computers'?
I found this :
>>>
These rules that govern the quantum world are so different from those of the macro world that our traditional understanding of binary logic in a computer doesn’t really work effectively any more. Quantum laws are based on probabilities, so a computer on this scale no longer works in a ‘deterministic’ manner, which means it gives us a definite answer. Rather, it starts to behave in a ‘probablistic’ way—the answer the computer would give us is based on probabilities, each result could fluctuate and we would have to try several times to get a reliable answer.

Would that be an accurate assessment of what a 'quantum computer'
can do for us? Unreliable 'probabilistic' answers?
