People interested in Quantum Computing and advances in related fields.
Quantum = The minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction.
The minimum amount of computer hardware is zero, which is the exact amount of functioning quantum computer hardware in the world today.

You have a very narrow definition of functioning: Quantum Computers exist - their capabilities now are like capabilities of tiny microcontrollers. Vast resources are invested to improve their capabilities because Quantum Computing is fundamentally faster than any classical computing hardware due superposition.
Just like mechanical calculators were replaced by digital calculators, in the coming decades quantum hardware will start displacing classical computers in various niches.
Show me a working quantum computer with the capability of any Atmel MCU.

You can design one yourself:

Oh I didn't realize simulations are working hardware. Thanks for pointing that out.

What is the concept of a 'virtual machine'?
>>12
Whatever it is, it's not "working hardware".

I think it's okay for anon to talk about quantum computers here if that's something they're passionate about, even if they currently have no practical utility. I would prefer they had some commentary rather than posting links like you would in a link aggregator though.

Was simply pointing out that quantum computers do not exist. Casual observers often believe they exist because people often discuss them as if they exist. Nothing to do with utility.
Can Mezzano run a QC simulator?

This place is reddit now, assimilate, though.
