geohot on quantum computing: 'a stupid combination of lasers and cold shit' unlocks new complexity

Quoting geohot's famous line — "I can't believe that some stupid combination of lasers and cold shit get you access to a different order of computational complexity" — the poster bets that this exact combination will indeed deliver a new order of computational complexity, just probably not in the way originally intended. A characteristically irreverent take on quantum computing as a paradigm built from extreme physical conditions.
