This will be used to solve P and NP problems. Things like how to fold proteins to cure diseases.

You could potentially gain a massive increase in computational power, if utilized properly. Prime number generation is notoriously slow in classical computers. We have a ton of ways to mitigate and prevent re-solving, but it's still slow. This slowness is what grants our encryption so much security, taking centuries or millennia to crack with current hardware. But with quantum computing, where you could potentially generate all of the combinations simultaneously, and remove the options that don't fit... There's a possibility we change the complexity from "Please write a word for word match of the thesis I have before me... without ever seeing the thesis or knowing the subject" to the complexity of multiple choice. Your GPS could suddenly find top three routes across the united states in a matter of micro-seconds instead of minutes. It could find the routes while considering all of the suburban and back roads instead of just highways and freeways. The knapsack problem might be solved. There are a lot of potential applications. From security to networking, probability to chemical structures, mathematics to art. We don't really know the limits until we explore them. > "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers." > > Thomas Watson, president of IBM, 1943 What use would billions of computers be? Why would people want them when they don't need them?

Don't worry, my power crystals will protect us.
