How you think does quantum computer will be ever build? Does it is possible (I mean to give exponentional speedup)? Or if quantum computer will be build, then it will be more or less the same speed like classical computer (I mean, then quantum computer is hypercomputer)? Or quantum computer can be build and will be very fast (quantum computer is possible and can give exponentionla speed up in some tasks)?

Sorry, but I'm refusing to vote as you're a bit of a plonker!

Quantum computer doesn't?

Quantum computers already exist. They've been used to factorise the huge number..... 15. That's a 'proof of concept' scenario though. Now it's just a matter of increasing their scale and complexity which is pretty much inevitable considering the applications they can be used for (no doubt a few US intelligence agencies are pouring money into it!).

Are you kidding?? This NMR quantum computer, which factorize number 15 into 3 and 5 was taking exponentionaly energy, when number of qubits growing linarly! And nobody build already quantum computer which taking less energy, but which is faster than classical computer!
