You are stupid. Quantum computing is based firmly in quantum
physics. Everybody like me (with a degree in physics) can check
out quantum computing. Difficult as it may be to realise qubits,
we have realised a machine that finds factors of 15 (that is 3 and
5) in a novel way. The rest is funding and technical progress.

Well. I've long wondered whether I should take you seriously.
Now I know. Welcome to my kill-file.
