When quantum computers go mainstream, people will ask why we played computer games that were less realistic than reality.
Issue is, nobody targets the encrypted data even now, seeing it'd take ages to break that encryption. But you got to get the data unencrypted at some point, and that's where you strike if you want to acquire the data.Tharwen said:Eh... quantum entangled particles are pretty much completely unhackable.insanelich said:Impossible-to-hack now?
Yeah, no more so than current ones.
And can you install DOOM on it?Hero in a half shell said:Ahh, but the real question is... ...will it be powerful enough to play Crysis?
its unhackable unless you have a quantum computer which will probably not be available for personal use for a very very long timeZaik said:Nothing is unhackable.
Nothing.
Edit: First thought when I stopped to not kneejerk react is that touting it as "unhackable" makes it sound like the Titanic of computers.
Since one of the consequences of pretending you can divide by zero is that any two numbers can equal each other, kinda like this third value, I think that third value falls into the same category as i, which is what you get when you pretend you can take the square root of -1. We'll need a symbol for it.esperandote said:I'll go ahead and come up with a name for this new third state... "Two".
I know there's probalby some major difference from quantum computing and a base 3 numeric system that i'm not getting.
Quantum entanglement doesn't work that way. Information is shared between the two entangled particles, and only those two entangled particles, with no transit in between. There is no way to intercept it or monitor it, and it's actually one of the few things not subject to the rule that nothing travels faster than light, although "propagates" might be a better term than "travels" here. Therefore, a network consisting of entangled particles is unhackable. The computers on that network, on the other hand, are a different story.bader0 said:its unhackable unless you have a quantum computer which will probably not be available for personal use for a very very long timeZaik said:Nothing is unhackable.

bah and my teacher laughed at me when i said that base 3 was the future of computing![]()
