Hi,
Check out http://www.dwavesys.com ---- they claim to have demonstrated
a 16 qubit quantum computer.

Now what this means is that each of those qubits can exist in
infinitely many states (dwave should suggest how many, for quantum
computers it is very large) and be coupled to each other in various
ways ----- but there will be only 16 bits output when the qubits
settle down.

These qubits should handle NP-complete problems.

So a suggestion is:
1. Find the values of stock-market futures and options (whether they
are going to rise or fall) and make money of these.

2. Make the qubits do language or automatic programming -------------
feed the previous 16 bits back into the program recursively as the
program goes bigger and bigger.

This way the qubits program will feed into itself -----------------
and make bigger quantum computers, earn money via stock market, and
program itself.

Neat idea ?
