What’s to research? A fucking abacus can hold data longer than a goddamn hour.

Are you really comparing a fucking abacus to quantum mechanics and computing?

They are shaking some informative answers out of literate people so I’m getting something out of it :D

Yes, as far as memory integrity goes anyways. Hell, even without an abacus, the wet noodle in my head still has better memory integrity.

Are you aware that RAM in your Computing devices looses information if you read the bit?

Why don’t you switch from smartphone to abacus and dwell in the anti science reality of medieval times?

And that it looses data after merely a few milliseconds if left alone, that to account for that, DDR5 reads and rewrites unused data every 32ms.

You’re describing how ancient magnetic core memory works, that’s not how modern DRAM (Dynamic RAM) works. DRAM uses a constant pulsing refresh cycle to recharge the micro capacitors of each cell.

And on top of that, SRAM (Static RAM) doesn’t even need the refresh circuitry, it just works and holds it’s data as long as it remains powered. It only takes 2 discreet transistors, 2 resistors, 2 buttons and 2 LEDs to demonstrate this on a simple breadboard.

I’m taking a wild guess that you’ve never built any circuits yourself.

I’m taking a wild guess that you completely ignored the subject of the thread to start an electronics engineering pissing contest?

And you would have been there shitting on magnetic core memory when it came out. But without that we wouldn’t have the more advanced successors we have now.

Must be the dumbest take on QC I’ve seen yet. You expect a lot of people to focus on how it’ll break crypto. There’s a great deal of nuance around that and people should probably shut up about it. But “dime stuck in the road is a stable datapoint” sounds like a late 19th century op-ed about how airplanes are impossible.

The internet is pointless, because you can transmit information by shouting. /s

Not to mention that quantum cryptography has found ways to prevent that already.

Welp, quantum computers have certain advantages (finding elements in O(sqrt(n)) time complexity, factorizing primes, etc). The difficulty is actually making everything stable because these machines are pretty complex.
