When will Qubits kill Crypto

How long before private keys can be hashed by Hong Kong pirates and every cryptocurrency is kill?

im actually very afraid of quantum computing, as it will make all current computer science knowledge useless. i dont wanna relearn something of this magnitude again

>assuming the govt. doesn't already have this tech and is actively using it rn.

I don't think you need to relearn a lot of things. Somebody will come up with an interpreter language that can compile into quantum compatible code.

t. brainlets who hear 'quantum computing' and think Sci-Fi
The layers of abstraction will stay the same. Just the computations will be done differently and more efficiently.

This

inb4 assembly coders

It won't just be 0 and 1 anymore though. Instead of binary communications at the physical layer it will be on a hexadecimal scale

He probably just meant when they start replacing digital pcs and are more common.

Functional languages are the best fit so all of the C and Rust brainlets will have to start from scratch

Quantum computing is not meant to be a full replacement for traditional computing. More likely than not, it will be used alongside traditional processors. Quantum coprocessor has a nice ring to it.

Thanks for making it appallingly obvious that you don't know shit about quantum computing

it will still be 1 and 0. The point of Quantum computers is that it can test all possible combinations of 1 and 0 at once.

>all current cs.knowledge useless

What the fuck do they teach you morons in school?

ITT: People who've watched one YouTube video and are now experts on quantum computers

ummmm, I skimmed the wiki page a year ago, sweetie

They will never replace trad computers they are more for special things like protein folding

Can I use it for physics in my video games?

Maybe if you are cloud gaming

What does quantum computing mean for von Neumann architecture?

The Copenhagen interpretation is a lie. Its all about pilot-wave theory

Assuming this isn't bait...
If I understand correctly it would only really benefit AI / Decision making... I mean if you think about it though most physics in games are purely Newtonian (for the most part) which aren't terribly intensive to calculate.

I've heard people say at quantum processor would be a separate piece of hardware and not replace the CPUs we have today.. my guess would be that something would decide (or something would explicitly state) whether whatever process should be .. processed by the ALU or a quatum logic unit .. So maybe just a new logic unit that is used sometimes in place of the ALU... for simple calculations (this is assuming my understanding is correct, which it might not be) modern processors are just fine / quantum processors would have minimal if any benefit.

jack shit.

Serious. CS is more abstract than fucking quantum vs non quantum computing. It's about languages and grammars and algorithms and data structures. You can do classical programming or quantum programming with it.

This next generation of CS kids are brainlets jesus christ.

You can have a 1 or a 0 or you can have a probability distribution of something that may or may not be a 1 or a 0.

>CS is more abstract than quantum vs. non quantum.

Hey, I'm a CS kid and I'm not one of these popsci retards.

You clearly think that CS is computer engineering.

It's pretty easy to build an analog computer of logic gates. When you apply 'quantum shit' the block diagram stops making much sense. 'Quirk' is a quantum circuit simulator built by one of Google's quantum computing team:

We're going to need new layers of autism (or ayyy tech from Lockheed/D-wave collab) to do something useful other than 'muh shor algorithm'.

Seth Lloyd's (MIT) lectures are a good undergraduate starting point if you want to learn more: ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-050j-information-and-entropy-spring-2008/videos-homework-and-readings/unit-13-lecture-1/

>will

Even if security evolves too it's still freaky to consider everything from today will be crackable.

>this will be implemented long before non-government malicious parties gain access to usable quantum computers.
>he believes this.
No, it will implemented after someone got fucked.
Why? Because it always does.
