Some of the papers on this site don't paint a hopeful picture that quantum computers will live up to some of its biggest boosters insofar as crypto and factoring problems are concerned. For example see: http://feynman.stanford.edu/qcomp/plenio/plenio/plenio.html Others seem down right gleeful: http://feynman.stanford.edu/qcomp/bennett-nature95 They all seem to agree that practical quantum computers are still a long way off. --Steve At 4:01 PM -0700 10/13/97, John Mayorga wrote:

Interesting stuff. Nothing to do with encryption (except maybe breaking it in the future).
