Justin Riddle #6 - Quantum Computer

In episode 6 of Quantum Consciousness, Justin Riddle explores the nature of quantum computers and compares their function to digital computers. How does quantum computation vastly outperform digital computation? Why is digital computation still required? Can quantum computers run exponentially large search algorithms in polynomial time? Will we have to merge our conscious minds with our technology to keep up with it?
