So IBM has created a division in their company devoted to creating software for quantum computers. They're planning to make them commercially available.
What do you guys think will happen to mining once it goes public?

P.S. in theory quantum computing makes it possible to find solutions to problems without checking all possible calculations but rather directly finding the solution.

What are your theories/thoughts on this?
