Quantum computers are difficult to scale because of noise. Applying a quantum gate to a qubit using teleportation is a protocol for performing fault-tolerant quantum computation.

#4That's nothin'! Haven't y'all heard of quantum state of matter?

> An international team of researchers led by Princeton physicist Zahid Hasan has discovered a quantum state of matter that can be "tuned" at will—and it's 10 times more tuneable than existing theories can explain.
x10 times more tuneable than other theories can explain! amazing! marvelous! gigantous! give us money!

I don't know what 5 year olds you hang out with, but I think this would have gone over their heads ;)

#6The article mentions that quantum computers are “an order of magnitude” faster than traditional computing. My understanding is that at the moment, this is incorrect: (noise-free) quantum computers are better at certain specific tasks, and otherwise, are no better than classical computers.

The article:
> Fully useful quantum computers have the potential to reach computation speeds that are orders of magnitude faster than today’s supercomputers.
It's not talking about the present, where IIUC quantum computers are basically useless for anything but research, not performing as well as classical computers because of noise and shortage of qubits.

On Hacker News everybody's five year old kids:
1. Configure and run their own Minecraft Server
2. Are fully proficient with the linux commandline
3. Are skilled in basic safe cracking techniques such as auto-dialling, weak point drilling, scoping and the use of brute force methodologies including the use of thermal lances (having acquired relevant Health and Safety accreditations).

And besides that they are on their third startup, have a blog, will debate the finer points of faking it until you make it with gusto, and are proficient in LISP, Rust and Elixir.

And will explain monads to their parents
