P != NP NP complete problems can not be solved in polynomial time using deterministic Turing machine Solution: Computer scientist use exhaustive, greedy algorithms and heuristics. Some Physicist have current research on developing Quantum Computers Solutions Quantum computers .. More on quantum computing Assuming classical computer based on a 3 bit register. Bits in register are in single definite state such as 000. Assume quantum computer on a register described by a wave function. Each bit can exist as superposition of all allowed states. Quantum Algorithm 3 bit register 2^3 states Initialize all eight states In each step of algorithm, each vector or state is modified by a unitary operator. On termination: value is read from register via quantum measurement. Note the number of classical registers required to estimate state of n bit quantum computer is 2^n

Yes, and the most amazing thing about this is that this is a verifiable fact. The Hindu's call this verification Moksha, the Buddhists call it enlightenment, the Zen Buddhists call it Satori, and the Christian, Jewish, and Moslem mystics call it union with God.

Or it will spell trouble further down the road.
