You know, I wrote a bit about those who typically ‘fallow di saiens’ (not only on these forums, btw) or self-annointed (sic) maths pundits, don’t wanna repeat it all yet again — just wanna point out that I’m generally not impressed by technobabble, especially by zealous laymen, and this kind of hype easily. Besides, let’s be realistic: on these forums, save for a couple of people, perhaps, your typical interlocutor hasn’t mastered even a tenth part of the theory required to discuss the subject seriously, but has an OPINION (as well as a seemingly irresistible urge to inform everyone about it), like, ‘Matematik stronk, me beliv, you stoopid!’ — and more or less the same principle pertains to society in general (particularly ‘progressive’ Western one, with ‘Modern Educayshun’ and all).
You cannot win with knowledge against stupidity and ignorance, just like you will not win a dispute against a literal dung pile.
But I suppose it’s high time to wrap up these musings: in short, let’s not confuse some theory for ‘nerds’ reading mathematical journals and a product, especially one to appeal to masses, these two are completely unrelated things.
There’s no such thing as a ‘meme’, you might have fallen victim to a hoax. As for quantum computing — well, that’s an old idea for turning taxpayer money into research money, back in my student days all those years ago we heard about that principle at related courses. I haven’t really followed the state-of-the-art progress in the subject, to be honest, and don’t fancy myself as an expert in it (that’s the prerogative of those forum guys — they are apparently experts in everything 
), however, lemme clarify one point: do you really wish to discuss it seriously or are you one of those people to whom both the Schrödinger and the Heisenberg picture look equally murky, and those equations are mumbo-jumbo?
