you will get 5000 - 8000 likes.... be patient:p

On the quantum computer, it will be 5000 or 8000 likes, simultaneously.

Yes...don't hold your breath waiting on QC to overtake CC. Companies release these "breakthrough" PRs routinely for QC in order to stimulate investment. I haven't seen the QC yet that could rival--or even tie--a pocket calculator. QC is "spooky action at a distance", indeed. Does the quantum realm exist? Nobody knows. Everything that is being done is done on unproven theory that may yet prove false. It's a sort of interesting approach attempting to use classical engineering techniques to create a computer which operates in the quantum realm! Everybody's notion of that is a little different--half classical engineering (or more than half) & ideas about how to use silicon to count in the quantum realm. A real theoretical conundrum.

And none at all too, that's the krux with that thing!

A little trivia. Back in the day IBM was the top tech company in the world. Still a behemoth with over 300,000 employees worldwide. Inventions by IBM include the automated teller machine (ATM), the floppy disk, the hard disk drive, the magnetic stripe card, the relational database, the SQL programming language, the UPC barcode, and dynamic random-access memory (DRAM). The IBM mainframe, exemplified by the System/360, was the dominant computing platform during the 1960s and 1970s... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM

Could come with a box which may or may not have a cat in it, at the same time 😕

It can, and can not, both at the same time.

Sorry but a lot of what you said shows a lot of ignorance on your end: QCs already have the potential to overtake CC, depending on the workload. They're very different processors for very different purposes. That's also why GPUs exist (which BTW, would be slower than a pocket calculator too). This goes back to that quote about judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree. There is a whole lot more to quantum physics than quantum entanglement (AKA, "spooky action at a distance"). To my understanding, QCs are only taking advantage of superposition. I don't know about "quantum realm" but quantum physics very much do exist with pretty definitive proof in a lot of cases. The problem ultimately comes down to finding the "theory of everything", since the equations in quantum physics and classical physics do not scale properly. So, the goal isn't to "count in the quantum realm". Think of processors like this: CPUs are best used to solve single long, complex equations with a single output. They're good at solving procedures. GPUs are meant to be used to solve multiple simple equations in parallel, with either singular or multiple outputs. This is why they're good at rendering graphics. QCs are meant to be used to solve single problems in parallel with a single output. When perfected, they will be good at solving brute-force problems, without the memory footprint of a supercomputer.

one main issue is it can "crack" encryption quickly
