!WOW!: " DEBUGGING THE QUANTUM COMPUTER!''
"Whisper Sweet Everythings!''

!WOW! is a rarest of the Diamonds!
The idea is totally crazy! But all great ideas usually are. It is now well within reach that in the next decade, Atoms and Photons are being used to build Supercomputers far more powerful and faster than any computer today.
So, every code would be breakable, and every possible Logarithm computable.

The Key: qubits. Built from subatomic particles, qubits work like silicon chips, by storing and processing information as either a Zero or a One.
But qubits have one huge advantage: Due to a phenomenon called ''superposition''  -an electron can be split in two directions, clockwise and counterclockwise, at once -which means that qubits can be zero and one simultaneously, which also means that they can perform various computations at the same time.

There are a few hurdles that Scientists are still tackling. By nature, the subatomic particles don't like to stand still, which means that even if they can be harnessed, the slightest interference from a nearby atom might cause a quantum chain reaction that crashes the system. The challenge, therefore, is how to figure out and do computation in such a way that if one or two quantum bits go wrong, you can still reconstruct the original quantum state, says Daniel Gottesman, a quantum-information theorist at the Perimeter Institute.

The answer that Gottesman invented at in a grad school at Caltech -is a ''quantum correction'' code that isolates where specific errors might occur and build firewalls to keep errors from wreaking havoc.
Gottesman, who once worked at Microsoft and Los Alamos National Laboratory, has begun exploring applications for Quantum computers, especially ''Cryptography'' an area that is of great interest to the entire world.
Obviously, everybody and even every country is interested in breaking other peoples and country codes. And, of course, they don't want to be the first to have their own codes broken by qubits.


Many thanks to !WOW! 

Good Night and God Bless.
