Many experts believe exploiting quantum mechanics will <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/cmsw.mit.edu\/angles\/2015\/is-the-universe-actually-a-giant-quantum-computer\/\">revolutionize our understanding of the universe<\/a> and propel our species toward an <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theory_of_everything\">ultimate understanding of <\/a><i><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theory_of_everything\">everything<\/a>. <\/i><\/p>\n<p>But what does all that hyperbole mean? It\u2019s easy to spit out optimistic platitudes. The real challenge, when it comes to speculative science, is predicting what this amazing quantum future will mean for the everyday person.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s put on our rose-tinted glasses and take a look at exactly what <i>could<\/i><span> happen if everything goes right and the dice land in our favor. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Goodbye_Pestilence\"><\/span>Goodbye Pestilence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve been studying diseases for thousands of years. In the modern era we\u2019ve discovered vaccination, life-saving treatments, and cures for afflictions that have persisted for longer than recorded history.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s plenty of work left yet. Diseases such as cancer remain uncured and horrifically prolific.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6205278\/\">Quantum computers could change that<\/a>. Creating a treatment or cure for something as complex as cancer is monumentally difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The sheer number of chemical combinations in the world is enough to bog down even the most powerful supercomputers.\u00a0But quantum computing can increase our ability to discover new drug and chemical interactions by factors.<\/p>\n<p>With the potential power of a near-future quantum computing system, it\u2019s perfectly feasible to imagine a world where disease and illness are things of the past.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peace_out_War\"><\/span>Peace out, War<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To the outsider looking in, humans might seem to love few things more than destroying one another. Quantum computing could help us a lot in that endeavor \u2013 if we\u2019re going to discover massively destructive technologies such as cold fusion or planet-smashing death rays, it\u2019ll likely be through the use of quantum computers.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, it could also make war obsolete. There\u2019s hope for a far future where people with incompatible ideological differences can warp away from Earth and carve out their own domain on a planet far, far away.<\/p>\n<p>And we can always hope that solving humanity\u2019s biggest problems in disease, hunger, and poverty could suddenly make us stop wanting to kill each other.<\/p>\n<p>But this isn\u2019t a philosophy article.<\/p>\n<p>Quantum algorithms running on advanced computers could, conceivably, make personal deflector shields (like a combination between <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/how-quantum-materials-may-soon-make-star-trek-technology-reality-86378\">a force-field<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9CO6M2HsoIA&amp;t=1s\">a super-fast drone<\/a>) a real thing. It\u2019s possible we could develop passive defensive technologies that render kinetic attacks useless in most personal scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine it: you\u2019re walking down the street without a care in the world when an evil mugger leaps out from a dark alley. The mugger demands your money, you say no, and POW: they shoot you.<\/p>\n<p>Only, your AI intercedes by placing itself between you and the bullet. Then it proceeds to alert the authorities on its own, send footage, and handle all the questioning while you just keep on walking without a care in the world.<\/p>\n<p>At the military scale, there could easily come a point where quantum algorithms end up playing out a version of the movie <i>War <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s <\/i><span>where, instead of reaching the conclusion that mutually assured destruction is inevitable, the machine comes to understand that a great defense beats a great offense. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>We could reach a stalemate in our ability to inflict mass destruction on each other due to the difficulty in threading a missile through quantum-based defenses. And quantum communications, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/mathematics\/quantum-teleportation\">data teleportation<\/a>, and other adjacent technologies could make cyberattacks nearly impossible as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Screw_you_Famine\"><\/span>Screw you Famine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We live on a planet where a handful of people have more money than they could spend in a thousand years, yet more than 3 million children <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theworldcounts.com\/challenges\/people-and-poverty\/hunger-and-obesity\/how-many-people-die-from-hunger-each-year\/story\">die of starvation every year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Quantum computers can do what billionaires, big tech, and the governments of the world refuse to: solve the hunger problem.<\/p>\n<p>The same <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> that would power drug discovery and cold fusion machines could potentially be used to discover <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2214785320375854\">nutritionally viable methods of food synthesis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, that would mean the invention of a machine that could produce food from ambient, available resources \u2013 like a 3D-printer that makes nutritionally viable food-paste out of air and mud or the <i>replicator<\/i><span> from <\/span><i>Star Trek<\/i>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_let_the_door_hit_you_in_your_bony_ass_on_the_way_out_Death\"><\/span>Don\u2019t let the door hit you in your bony ass on the way out, Death<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, however, there should be only one true goal for the optimistic technologist: human immortality.<\/p>\n<p>Solving disease, eradicating hunger, and mitigating our ability to harm each other would go a long way towards increasing our collective life-spans.<\/p>\n<p>After all, imagine how many people smarter than Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking died of dysentery as a child or as a civilian casualty of one of the innumerable wars our species has engaged in since the dawn of time. Who knows how much knowledge we\u2019ve left on the table over the years due to sheer bad luck.<\/p>\n<p>But even more so than the fact that the preservation of individual lives would be a rising tide that lifts up our species, we can imagine a paradigm where quantum medical diagnostic tools give us the ability to find, isolate, and correct the flaws in our DNA.<\/p>\n<p>There are those who believe aging can be slowed or even reversed based on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/307383#Oxidative-stress-and-telomere-length\">theories involving the elasticity of certain cellular components<\/a> (called telomeres). While there\u2019s currently no clear path towards turning this insight into an actionable counterattack to the viciousness of aging, it\u2019s obvious that we\u2019d need quantum computers to run the algorithms that could one day optimize our biology through rejiggering our DNA and cellular makeup in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s impossible from our tiny point of view to know what the future holds. These technologies may never come to fruition or they could end up dominating the news cycle next year if lightning strikes the Google laboratories and a few more major eurekas happen in the field.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s important right now is that there\u2019s hope. If a deity never emerges to show us the error of our ways or aliens never show up to solve all of our problems for us, we\u2019ve still got a potential way out of the mess we\u2019ve gotten ourselves into.<\/p>\n<p>And besides, everyone has to believe in something right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
