Quantum computing possible?? This will be interesting for the digital currency world.
Worlds First Quantum Computer Now Possible after Silicon Chip TestNew South Wales (AUS) Scientists have successfully tested a quantum version of computer code on a silicon chip. This is a new breakthrough for computational engineers and coding overall as the achievement proves what some thought was unobtainable: the ability to build the worlds first quantum computer.

technology-wallpaper-hdEngineers and researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have created code that entangles two quantum bits applied to a silicon chip. The protocol passed the infamous inflexible Bell Test and received the highest score ever during the test. The UNSW team, appearing in the international journal, Nature Nanotechnology stated:
WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN PASSING THE TEST, AND WE HAVE DONE SO WITH THE HIGHEST SCORE EVER RECORDED IN AN EXPERIMENT.
The experiment proves that this quantum language can be written and controlled with a crafted silicon microchip for the first time in history. With this recent discovery, the first sketches of a quantum computer can come to life.
https://news.bitcoin.com/quantum-code-applied-microchip/This is an amazing technology breakthrough and has advanced very quickly. I have been following quantum computing for a while. It will lead to many new possibilities, we never thought possible before, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence for machine, and human as well, which almost sounded scary.
Those who can afford to be so equipped can drastically expand way beyond their current human limitations. Technically, if I can interface with my quantum computer, 24/7, it will quickly learn everything I know, research what I need to know and write the book, I am currently writing, far better than anyone could. This may sound exciting but if you are concerned about social economic inequalities, this could take it to a devastating level where a very small population preform better than the rest by a quantum leap. My advice, keep up with revolutionary technologies, including digital currency. Don't let your bankers talk you out of it. The world is changing at an ever increasing rate.
One issue of immediate concern is the current state of encrypted password and security. Technically, the new quantum computing will render everything we considered "protected and safe" void. I am sure we will adjust. Technology always evolves. Here is another reason investing heavily in technology development before one is ready to commercialize it is not a very smart business strategy. Getting ready to react quickly is much more prudent.
On the simplest possible level, if we are to have quantum computers then, ergo, we will need quantum security, quantum software, etc. All manor of new fields of computer science and opportunities will open to the next generation. This will be a "sea change" in the information world.
