I haven't looked into quantum computing in a while myself, the last time
I looked at it the prototypes were all still toys, and it was mostly
theory. I probably won't see a fully functioning quantum computer in my
life time and I'm still young :)
I'm in my late 50's. It occurs to me as a possibility that barely
practical QC will be
the last great computational hardware leap forward during my working
years. I'm
guessing (I've lived through a lot of changes!) that by the time I'm 70
we'll be in
the "vacuum tube" era or working quantum computers.
http://dwavesys.com claims great progress in hardware.
If you are interested, I will be blogging pretty steady about this on
http://dobbscodetalk.com
where I will be trying to get the readers to help me understand this
puzzling field!
