My understanding of this is limited. But every time I think about quantum computers, I have a that's so raven flash forward of AI prophets sending dr strange levels of fortune telling through a neuralink. Government boogypeople forming prayer circles around QLang scripted bibles.

Will there ever be an operating system for quantum computers? GUI? What would that look like? How will this change our use of regular computers?

Encryption would no longer protect us, microsoft would have to sell excel coloring books to keep the lights on. Help.

I dont have an answer for you, but these Reddit coomers kinda do : https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comment..._break_any

No. It's like math coprocessor which can work only few moments. You setup it, launch, it stops, you read result. The end. Not for regular people. Even not for 99% countries.

@EdenSlate Ah, my kingdom's proverbial subjects. Will enjoy this very much. Sorry for the late reply.

@vekm Thank you for clearing this up for me. I didn't see a reason for an OS and that helped me understand why.

so excited. Thanks for your post

interesting stuff

Seems like there are equal numbers of doomsday claims that we cannot possibly adapt fast enough, as there are calm dismissals that it will be just fine. Hard telling not knowing and tbh I have no idea who is right.

Very interesting stuff, i mean it

I don't think we really want everyone to have quantum computers just yet

Creating a GUI for quantum computers poses significant challenges. Quantum operations are highly specialized and differ from classical computing paradigms. Visualizing quantum states, gates, and algorithms in a user-friendly way is a complex task. Developing GUIs that effectively represent the quantum processes to users unfamiliar with quantum mechanics is an ongoing area of research.

Hey there,

Quantum computers, man, they're like something out of a sci-fi flick. As for an OS for them? Eh, we'll see what happens. And a GUI? That's some next-level stuff right there.

In terms of changing our use of regular computers, it's likely that quantum computers will initially serve as specialized tools for tackling complex problems in fields like cryptography, optimization, and scientific research. While encryption methods may need to evolve to withstand quantum attacks, the everyday use of regular computers for tasks like browsing, word processing, and data analysis is unlikely to be significantly affected in the near term.

And if Microsoft starts peddling Excel coloring books, well, I guess that's just the world we live in now.
