Some properties of quantum computers tin beryllium imitated pinch sound trapped successful a elemental mechanical device. This has nan advantage of being little vulnerable than quantum computers, while still replicating immoderate of their properties.
Quantum computers could yet lick problems that are intolerable for nan champion accepted supercomputers, but they are tricky to activity with. Many suffer their quantumness, which is cardinal for their advantages complete mean computers, and extremity moving very quickly because of disturbances from their environments – and immoderate …
