GPUs are used to execute computational physics programs, for example (and deep-net learning programs, of course). @philipthrift @philipthrift On Wednesday, October 2, 2019 at 6:33:23 PM UTC-5, Brent wrote: > > No need to wait for the future, almost all computers now have a GPU to > handle

No need to wait for the future, almost all computers now have a GPU to handle the screen graphics which is as powerful as the CPU and optimized to be faster for some operations. Brent On 10/2/2019 9:46 AM, Lawrence Crowell wrote: It is hard to judge. I tend to suspect future computers may

For the first time a fully controllable ten-qubit spin register with a quantum memory of 75 seconds has been developed. And they managed to achieve this without using any error correcting at all which the researchers believe is the next step; they conclude their article in the September 11 2019
