Looks like the United Kingdom wants to create smart tanks, because it's using a new quantum computer to put more tech in its arsenal.

    When did we get to shelf scale and room temperature quantum computers? Last I heard, we can barely manage them completely isolated and at near-zero temperatures.

    Or is this a quantum computer with, like, one quantum and barely reliable…?

    Cost sink for whatever private sector partnership they’re using probably.

    LMAO UK can’t feed its people, but the real priority is getting quantum computers in their tanks. 😂

    When the tanks get smarter than the occupants, generals and politicians, let’s see who they will shoot.

          I said war is bad, but war equipment isn’t necessarily. It’s pretty cool to watch an F-15 flying around but seeing it killing people isn’t as cool you know
