Quantum Computing

I read some news today about Australian researchers who theoretically developed a new chip design that incorporates a flip-flop  design, using the same material and technology used today. Now, in theory this would make quantum computing much more affordable and faster to develop to the point where anyone could get a quantum computer as easy as they can buy a laptop or phone today. The big question is, why does it even matter? What's so great about quantum computing? Quantum Computing Now, a very simplified explanation was provided by Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, back in 2016 at a press conference. We can see that here: Source: Youtube, CBC News Now, Trudeau's explanation, although simplified, gives the general idea of why technology like this is so important. As most people know, doing anything with a computer, or anything with a chip in it, is just massive combinations of a circuit saying "1" or "0", albeit very complex combinatio
