Subject: OT: Quantum Computers


While I understand linear computers, such as the ones which run MPE i/X, and
neural networking type computers, albeit the concepts involve fuzzy thinking
on my part, I do not have a clear concept of the Quantum Computer.

How would it work?

Is it true that once a problem is set up, a Quantum Computer can solve it
instantly?

Perhaps some on this forum would know.
