I'm not kidding, its true or so my sources say. Every possible move in chess has been worked out on a quantum computer. They are now in the process of printing the moves up. Unfortunately they have not yet invented a quantum printer, they have to use an old fashion laser printer and so it will take millions of years to print it all up.

Seems legit.

Quantum chess is a more interesting variation anyway. No piece has any position until you look at it, and every time you look, the piece is somewhere else. Keeps you on your toes - if you can find them.
Why would you need to print it all up?
Just save it on the quantum computer's quantum memory.
No need to print it out. All they have to do is put it all on a massive hard drive. It would be the ultimate chess data base.
I have heard the quantum computers are able to multiply 3x5 and get 15.
Anyway, no need to print it out. It's already encoded in the following infinite number:
0.12345678910111213141516171819202122232425...
And that entire infinite number, which contains all the knowledge that could ever exist, can fit in a tiny little program of less than 30 bytes.

Then we'll need a Quantum Briefcase to hold it all and Quantum Eyeglasses to read it.
Interesting. I guess the result of the game is indeterminate until someone looks at the scoreboard.

Thats the most probable answer. Sometimes they get another answer.
quantum computing has not been invented yet. in fact there is no concensus if such a thing is even possible physically. it is possible that if and when quantum computers are invented then exponential problems like chess can become solvable within a millisecond.
it is also probably that when quantum computing is invented then they could probably not just solve chess but also 'understand' chess.
also, there is no such thing as a quantum printer.
an excerpt from this article runs as follows:
That means Qubits can multitask, which results in outstanding power. "A quantum computer with 300 qubits could run more calculations in an instant than there are atoms in the universe," says Technology Review.
Considering there are between 10 to the 78th power and 10 to the 82nd power atoms in the universe, quantum computers sound unfathomably, maybe even unnecessarily, fast. The fastest supercomputer, the Titan Cray XK47 at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, can already perform quadrillions of calculations per second. What function could possibly need more power than that?
Apparently, something called machine learning, or "the way computers take note of patterns of information to improve their outputs," says Quentin Hardy at the New York Times. "Personalized Internet search and predictions of traffic congestion based on GPS data are examples of machine learning." Hardy goes on: "The field is particularly important for things like facial or voice recognition, biological behavior, or the management of very large and complex systems."

Thread winner! Brilliant post
the challenge in quantum computing is i believe to isolate the atoms in the computer from the surroundings so that something outside cannot make it switch to another state.

If quantum computers haven't been invented yet, then Google has just spent a lot of money for nothing.
Well thats interesting stuff, but new hardware is only half the answer. What software is written that will drive the hardware to solve global warming?
this is news to me. nothing short of shocking. if quantum computers have been built then the world as we know it will change in ways never thought possible.

Still waiting for the printout of the quantum of rubbish in forum threads...too much rubbish for any computer to handle!
