Everything is here or perhaps it's not?! ...

the magic is that Quantum computing comes to Microsoft!

At this year's Ignite conference, Microsoft made major announcements about their commitment to "Quantum Computing", and that this and Artificial Intelligence were the emerging technologies of the future. Microsoft's CEO Satya Nadella described Quantum Computing as being the magic that is able to solve a maze in a cornfield, instantly, knowing all of the routes through the maze at the same time. So where standard computing systems we have now, need to figure out ways through the maze one route at a time....



Quantum computers, on the other hand, have the ability to see all options simultaneously in one picture...



There are, of course, like all new technologies, significant barriers yet to overcome but researchers in Microsoft and other organisations are working hard to solve these issues and bring us closer to a quantum computer on everyone's desk :)

Here is a short video that explains the general concepts (its really good, watch it!...)
