most quantum computers can do that - notice they mention speed but not completion of a task. the equivalence of memory in quantum computers lasts only a fraction of a second and mush of the research is attempting to increase that

they do functions which classic computers cannot do except with exhaustive calculations. you still need a classical computer to do all the rest - so the quantum unit is only part of a computer - a mere functional block

the problem is finding uses for those functions in real world problems

At the end of the article, what does it mean: "Source from the Internet"?

I left the website, searched, and found another source:

Jiuzhang computer took less than a second for a task that the fastest classical supercomputer in the world would take nearly five years to solve

Like I'm going to believe anything coming from the Chinese government.

They went all out to own you dunbass. Those computers are going to be weaponized against you.

according to them. sure, why not.
