gollark: So if it's before then and I don't lose a bunch of data it would obviously be possible to check such things.
gollark: I can check, I have a closed timelike curve connected to 2103.
gollark: The most interesting quantum thingy™ I'm aware of is Grover's algorithm, which seems to just magically be able to speed up some search-ish/brute-force things using magic.
gollark: Wait, so if I find a big prime number and use the `factor` command on it, I can actually say that my computer is outperforming leading-edge quantum computers at that task?
gollark: One day quantum computers might even be able to do useful things faster than my phone!
