Dr. Jason Kapnick Wrote:Progress in cancer research arrives from the computer, then to the lab, and then to the bedside, quantum computing speed in the hands of researchers could mean a massive speeding up of the rate in which we can make rational choices, and the cures will follow.

However the big emphasis here is on "could". Quantum computers don't exist yet. Or it could turn out that practical universal quantum computers are not as efficient as theory predicts due to unforeseen engineering problems.

Quote:IBM researchers believe that a machine capable of calculating hundreds of qubits could be five to 10 years out. Nobody knows how long it would take for quantum machines to displace conventional computers or whether that will happen.
