Maybe even cross time technology ?

It'll be a major leap forward for humanity, but in terms of seeing back/forward in time? Unlikely at this stage, if it did somehow prove to be possible once we unlock Quantum computation then the world will be a very different place.

Which opens up many cans of many types of worms.

Im thinking if you can just send coded information just a few seconds back in time theres plenty of upside

Well apparently the Chinese have beaten everyone else to the punch. It's only a matter of time until they take over the world

Chinese photonic quantum computer demonstrates quantum supremacy

A team of researchers affiliated with several institutions in China has built and tested a photonic quantum computer that demonstrates quantum supremacy. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes their computer, which they call Jiuzhang, and how well it performed while...

China Stakes Its Claim to Quantum Supremacy

Google trumpeted its quantum computer that outperformed a conventional supercomputer. A Chinese group says it's done the same, with different technology.

They usually find a way to get ahead. Usually by ignoring inconvenient things like...human rights and junk.

Just like when europe conquered the world...until the germans attempted it - then raouuuuuuuu

would much rather be able to look back/travel to the past than to the future

For pretty much half my life we have been less than 5 years away from useful quantum computers.

Im a little older than 10...

Some developments closer to home - maybe we're leading the way after all:

Engineers make critical advance in quantum computer design

Quantum engineers from UNSW Sydney have removed a major obstacle that has stood in the way of quantum computers becoming a reality. They discovered a new technique they say will be capable of controlling millions of spin qubits—the basic units of information in a silicon quantum processor.

There's some pretty exciting stuff coming out of Australia in QC development

Archer Materials are working on a room temp quantum computing processor

After the science: What quantum computing will really mean for the tech industry

Four of Australia's quantum leaders explain the real-world effects of quantum computing.
