As much as I research or keep up to date in all things , I do not remember anything about Quantum computing. I came across this article on forbes this morning. Can anyone add some light with regards to Apple's hand in all this? www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2017/07/10/6-practical-examples-of-how-quantum-computing-will-change-our-world/#2aadfbd880c16 Practical Examples Of How Quantum Computing Will Change Our World There’s a reason Google, Microsoft, IBM and governments around the world continue to make significant investments in quantum computing—they are counting on it to change the world by solving problems that are intractable for today’s classical computers. Quantum computers will disrupt every industry. They will change the way we do business and the security we have in place to safeguard data, how we fight disease and invent new materials, and solve health and climate problems.

Quantum computers will disrupt every industry. They will change the way we do business and the security we have in place to safeguard data, how we fight disease and invent new materials, and solve health and climate problems. Quantum computing is based on atoms, photons, and other "tiny" objects that have a behavior governed by quantum mechanics. One application of this that is being implemented right now is unbreakable encrypted communication. But for day-to-day computing applications, whatever disruption this will cause is certainly many years away (for quantum computing everything is basically still at the laboratory stage, it's only a few years ago when people where happy that their quantum computer taking up a space of a few square feet was able to successfully compute 1+1+1=3)

I too have great reservations about quantum computing. It seems more like science fiction than computer science.

In the opening 8 minutes of his interview with Charlie Rose, the British architect Lord Norman Foster discusses the design of Apple Park and working with Steve Jobs: charlierose.com/videos/30665

The Charlie Rose interview with Lord Norman Foster was great. Thanks for posting.
