    Perhaps, but it doesn't really elaborate on how the orbitron calculations would allow the QC's to become more stable-- just how they could speed their processing up which in itself is pretty cool but doesn't have much of a use as the speed is already far surpassing anything we can make otherwise.

    I'm far more interested in their proposed superconductor research as non-cold superconducting is the only current pragmatic way to achieve hover tech.

    Quantum computing leads to eventually just typing in an invention and it will just appear in front of you so I'm pleased with that prospect to say the least.

    I'm not looking forward to the levels of safety we'll need to uphold at that point. A world where people can create biological viruses out of water... we'll probably need to become machines.
