If the state were to fund it adequately... I find little flaw with it.

Nor did I.

Closer to none than some, I would assume.

Monkey wrangler. I wrangle monkeys.

Personally, I bet as i hope things won't go because if it goes bad, at least I get some cash. Hedge. I can't be alone in this.

But I am! Quantum computing is not conventional computing. See!

Oh, but I am. That's why I said what I said. Even if they have one, it will be severely lacking; indicated by where public research is at.

Which one? A super computer? Its just faster than a conventional computer by a factor that doesn't matter. A quantum computer? The public field would be way closer to that if "the government" had one that would be useful.

But this is not like the past. Quantum computers is not an step in evolution, it is a jump, as if from no computers to computers. Of course it's possible, but there is no basis or indication for it and so no reason to assume it. Why believe the less likely thing instead of the more likely?

My sweet child. Bold of you to assume the commenter knows what p=np means. :)

What do you think they have? Alien computers? Not even super-computers make a dent in decryption.

Always thought it was a great name choice.
