arent quantum computers still in the molecular stage?

[Edward]

I think its optical. they just use the word quantum like tv manufactures use plasma

[Thomas Kirby]

We now have a laptop that will be comfortable working with the entire human genome at once.

[Fatemisience]

interesting you think they could make a better website. it seems dialogue is manufactuering their products. they make the flybook, imate and qtek etc. etc.

 

good stuff worth checking out

[X facter]

"Quantum®"

Yes, perhaps if it weren't total BULLSHIT they would have a better web site.

 

Yes, I call bullshit. These are such horrible photoshops it's ridiculous.

 

 

Yes folks, they claim this little doodad that looks halfway between a Toslink connector and a miniplug stores a whopping 24GB.

 

 

Oh look, this is supposed to store 1 TB! So why is the label horribly photoshopped?

 

 

Hey look, it's a Quantum^TM brand component! Oh wait, it's just BULLSHIT!

 

The sad thing is this detracts from real companies making molecular computing breakthroughs

[bascule]

The surprising thing is the patent number looks legit and matches atomchip.com's whois info:

 

Registrant:

Shimon Gendlin

21 Reed Lane

Westbury, NY 11590

US

[Thomas Kirby]

Well, there are several marks of a hoax on that page, like the golden Oscar as one of the awards, but this kind of hoax is going to make people feel really used. Most likely the "horrible photoshop" is because the maker of this hoax actually made up paper labels and cut them by hand.

[insane_alien]

it could bewhat they expect laptops to be like when we do have mass marketed quantum computing. i think the current most powerful quantum cpu consists of 12000 carbon atoms and is like 133MHz

[eruheru]

where they actuallytrying to sell the laptops?

the patent is legit check it out for yourself

[eruheru]

i dont know, still sounds like bullshit

[H2SO4]

ya this is bullshit. I mean c'mon a small chip this big holding 1TB.

 

Im sure we would have heard something about this if it was legit.

There have been many scholarly journals / respectable science magazines reporting on nano-scale data storage (non volatile). It is, in fact, possible to fit that much data into something that small!

 

I'm not sure exactly which articles I'm referring to 'cause I don't remember exactly what it was, but IEEE Spectrum, Technology Review (MIT's Magazine of Innovation), Scientific American, and Popular Science are some good candidates.

 

As far as this particular case goes, I don't know.

[GeminiinimeG]

This seems like it might be legitimate, just maybe, this is perhaps a prototype for one of those quantum computers? check this out

[GeminiinimeG]

Imagine what can be done with a 1billion transitor processor

[eruheru]

i know its theareticly possible, but i dont think its that adcanced yet. if it was then the quantum mechanics page would have something on it. mabey ill make a post.

[GeminiinimeG]

Since i going to be taking some computer hardware and programming classes ill probably end up using this technology in the future before you losers muahahaha

[JPQuiceno]

I doubt this is real. If it was real, I'm sure it would be ALL OVER the news, and they would be selling more laptops "than maddona has sold books on sex."

 

Quoting Stephen Hawking

[GeminiinimeG]

hey perhaps its not advanced enough for the media to waste their time on it, the laptop sure looks fake, but the technology is not.

[JPQuiceno]

wait a second. i'm sure they're is advancement in quantam technology, but I SERIOUSLY doubt that a chip that fast has been created yet.

[Klaynos]

I feel a /. quote is required:

 

"Maybe Duke Nukem Forever will run on it."

[calbiterol]

Note: THIS IS NOT QUANTUM COMPUTING. From every description I have heard, this is an example of chips designed using nanotechnology. Quantum computing is a completely different thing. Check wikipedia for both "quantum computers" and for "atomic-scale computing." The difference is immense.
