Quantum computing is definitely coming. The processing power, as well as the number of related research papers have been rising exponentially over the last years.[1] Indeed it's just a matter of time until today's internet technology will have to be considered broken. Forward secrecy of state-of-the-art encryption is already considered broken with the expectation of quantum computing.[1]
Which reminds me of this interesting note from the C's:
C's session Nov 19 said:
Q: (T) One last question and I will be gone for now. Who sent me the information in the dream?
A: You don't have to "go". Complex.
Q: (T) Was the information sent by the good guys or the bad guys?
A: Different concept.
Q: (T) What race of beings? Did it come from a specific race?
A: Not exactly.
Q: (L) Can you give us just a few words on this?
A: Okay, Laura. Cosmic retrieval system.
Q: (L) What does the cosmic retrieval system retrieve?
A: Remember computer was inspired by cosmic forces and reflects universal intelligence system of retrieval of reality.
Q: (T) This is a computer network, yes or no?
A: Strange thought pattern.
Q: (T) What you have described, on a very large scale, sophisticated...
A: Grand scale, close.
Q: (T) Can I access it through our earthly computer system?
A: In a sense, but not directly as of yet. But just wait. [Break]
Speculating a bit here, but I wonder if quantum computers and quantum internet, encryption, and communications would bring us closer to tapping into the "cosmic retrieval system" using our computers? After all, quantum physics seems to be more aligned with "how things really are" than classical. I think it was also suggested that we can do this with our minds if we are "tuned in" and network with one another properly, causing exponential growth. There are theories out there that the brains themselves (outside of any spiritual aspect or greater meaning of "mind" the C's use) also have quantum calculations happening via microtubules or something along those lines, currently shot down by mainstream neuroscientists but who knows. And if our brain serves as an interface between this physical reality and our non-physical consciousness, it would suggest that at least in part, it may require a "quantum machine" (assuming it has that functionality) to enable such interfacing. Also piggybacking off that idea, the C's said gravity is the binder of physical and non-physical via unstable gravity waves - would they have anything to do with quantum processes?
In fact, speculating further - it makes me wonder if the push for quantum computing isn't an attempt to do just that - to interface with the "cosmic retrieval system" and gain an advantage beyond what even quantum computation alone would provide, by those "in the know". In other words, it could literally be a technological way to "channel" - bypassing the need for using a human brain as the interface. And could even be used to explore "unified field theory", "unstable gravity waves", "remote viewing", and a whole gamut of possibilities.
Here's some progress on developing the quantum internet:

And here's this blurb from 4 years ago about a government lab secretly using quantum networking for 2 years:

And finally, there are some theories that quantum computers are required for true artificial intelligence. Which makes sense - if the brain has quantum capabilities, and this allows an interface with a "soul" (maybe that's not all of it, but a necessary component anyway), and a soul is necessary for true consciousness (because consciousness is non-physical and can't be faked or reproduced without the real thing), then you need quantum/genetic or whatever can interface with the non-physical to achieve AI.
Here's an interesting article on the matter:

However, Wittek says, standard machine learning algorithms have a hard time generating purely random numbers. Monte Carlo machine learning algorithms, often used in financial applications, require purely random numbers for optimal results. But often pseudo-random numbers are the best a classical computer can generate. Quantum systems, by contrast, practically define pure randomness. So a quantum machine learning could have a foothold here.
I dunno, but I think this is key. How can you have intelligence and consciousness without free will and vice versa? And how can you have free will if your decisions are completely deterministic - that knowing your current state and algorithm I can predict with absolute certainty what you will do next? Pseudo-random numbers means completely deterministic. Any other device can generate exactly the same sequence of numbers given the same seed+algorithm - with no possibility of deviation or choice, fully predictable.
Now, if quantum process allows truly random, at least in the sense we understand the term "random", then this means non-deterministic, it means impossible to predict, which is to say, the only way free will could operate, right? There is no free will if your actions are pre-determined, and apparently only quantum allows true randomness, which means, at least a possibility to be acted upon by consciousness and choice.
So putting it all together - without quantum calculations, our brains would probably be fully deterministic, preventing any possibility of a "soul" making any kind of choice, like a train on a track. And if so, it would seem like this is also the only way to achieve "artificial" intelligence as well, and everything else is at best just a fake - no matter how convincing or seemingly intelligent, just a set of pre-determined instructions without any possibility of choice and therefore real thought.
