I only recently 'discovered' this quantum computer business and quantum information.
As I see it, this seems like a drastic departure from regular 'classical' computers. So if we ever get to the point of using these computers, won´t they have to rediscover the entire field of computer-science?
The memory works completely different, so all algorithms must change? Just look at this stuff, it's crazy, called Shors algorithm, it only factors an integer into it's prime components.

I've only learned introduction to Quantum Mechanics, but still I don´t understand half of this stuff.
