State of Quantum Computing, and Related Open Source Projects

I got totally lost in the middle - but Tom made a great attempt to talk about a very difficult subject.

I'd like to have seen more on the quantum computers themselves.

Brought back memories of many things I learned in school and uni! I can't write the Schroedinger wave equation, but for a brief time some years ago I could!

I too would have liked more info on the construction/operation of the computers - not just their underpinnings.

I'm so glad that Tom spoke at OSDC. His topic wasn't typical of the conference, but provided a new insight in to something relevant.

I would have liked to know more about the implications of quantum computing on the future of computing as we know it; for example, the ability to make current encryption methods ineffective. This may, of course, not have been his area of interest or expertise.

All in all though, an enlightening talk. Thanks!
