I read “This Is The World First Operational Room Temperature Quantum Computer.”

The idea is that this device uses “implanted nitrogen-vacancy centers in synthetic diamonds (where a nitrogen atom is used in place of a carbon one).”

If you understand that phrase, you are ready to slap this puppy under your desk. Imagine. You could crack any known cryptographic scheme. Keep in mind that some quantum supremacy outfits defeat any attempt to crack quantum cryptographic methods even if those don’t yet exist.

The write up points out:

“We [CEO and engineers of Quantum Brilliance] the look forward to seeing enterprises and researchers utilizing HPC as a hub to explore novel classical-quantum codes using Setonix and the quantum accelerator as a step towards the hybrid computing future…”

Heat, programming tools, apps — coming any day. Next up, a mobile phone form factor. And power draw? What?
