Molecule of iodine is a thousand times more powerful than the average PC
The demonstration of quantum computing, conducted by Japanese researchers, clearly demonstrated an amazing fact for someone: an ordinary molecule is capable of performing mathematical operations thousands of times faster than a personal computer.
As a test, the discrete Fourier transform was chosen, a standard operation that is used in many areas of technology - in signal processing, probability theory, statistics, cryptography, acoustics, MP3 compression, JPEG compression, etc. It turned out that the iodine molecule performs this transformation several orders of magnitude faster than the processor of an ordinary personal computer.
The results of their work, Japanese scientists have published in the journal Physical Review Letters [Kouichi Hosaka, Hiroyuki Shimada, Hisashi Chiba, Hiroyuki Katsuki, Yoshiaki Teranishi, Yukiyoshi Ohtsuki, Kenji Ohmori. Ultrafast Fourier Transform with a Femtosecond-Laser-Driven Molecule. Physical Review Letters, 2010; 104 (18): 180501 DOI: 10.1103 / PhysRevLett.104.180501 ], feedback on their work is freely available .

Unfortunately, this is an exclusively conceptual experiment, and for the real benefit no one can yet use the computational power of molecules. But if they learn, in the future one molecule will be enough for each user.
