RE:RE:RE:Just wondering.......Andrew said that he had been secretly working on this new technology for the past two years and that it would be ready for commercialization within 12 months, and hinted at 'maybe sooner'. It will apparently be security required by all as soon as Quantum computers hit the streets.
So I've googled "when will quantum computers be available" and came up with this article:
https://futurism.com/when-will-quantum-computers-be-consumer-products/ which says:
In the 2020s, we will have quantum computers that are significantly better than super computers today, but they most likely won’t be in mass use by governments and companies until the 2030s. Eventually toward the end of the 2030s and early 2040s they’ll shrink down to a size and cost viable for consumer use. Before that point even with the exponential growth of technology I don’t think that it would be cost efficient enough for the average consumer to replace regular computing with quantum computing.
2030 is 12 years away, but the speed as which technology advances today, maybe it is sooner. Who knows. But it is coming! Hopefully this time it is early enough to have a stronger stake in the ground and not have our patent brushed away like the current patent was brushed away.
Andrew mentioned that Baker would no longer be pursuing the Citrix case, but did not say whether they had abandoned all of the other targets.
Andrew left the door open to Baker helping them with the legal work on the new patent that they would be pursuing for the Blockchain security in an era of Quantum computing.
For sure, if the invention is significant, the rejuvinated Blackberry will be a suitor.
