Me too. I kind of expected a dystopian article where people in 2048 are so badly educated that the most advanced math they can do is count U.S. states one by one!

Kind of disappointed it's not that, to be honest :)

I was expecting a maths where quantum computation had taken over analytic number theory and theorems could be proved using brute force enumeration.Or something
Quantum computers can't do that. Not even in principle. :p
If you take just one piece of information from this blog: Quantum computers would not solve hard search problems instantaneously by simply trying all the possible solutions at once
