    That is a great article. I only got through maybe two thirds of it, but I’ll go through the rest when i have better focus.

    So… it sounds like practical use will be something like a QPU, quantum processing unit. When you need highly parallelized, probability-based, shallow computation, it would be good to use a QPU. Data preparation or more step-wise operations would go to a traditional CPU/GPU. I can see how this would be useful.

      yeah! if something can be expressed in an algorithm that can be implemented using qbits, it can run there. 99% of computing will be done on your regular cpu, but for certain problems a regular cpu would take years to solve, you can run it through the multiverse for a quick answer.
