So far, I think, they've built only about 3-4 qbits—and there are some problems—trying to read the result decoheres the quantum system.

I essence, a quantum computer could follow every path at once, instead of one by one.


(classical computer method—rough example)

Prime = 1
DO n = 3 TO SQUAREROOT(supposedprime) BY 2 WHILE(Prime=1)

/* No remainder when divided by n ? */
IF MODULO(supposedprime,n) = 0 THEN
Prime = 0

END

/* Not divisible, then it is a prime number */
IF Prime = 1 THEN…


In the quantum computer, every division test would happen at once.
The single dimensional existence is the man being.
This is sequential.
The collective existence is the divine.
This may well be the road to creating God.
I personally think we would be better off trying to simulate the abilities of a man first.
