The total number of possible output states is about 10^30, which is about 14 orders of magnitude greater than the next biggest demonstration of quantum computing.

Photons are sent into the network (one at each input) and exit in a state that is randomly chosen from all possible states. In less than four minutes, the researchers had obtained results that they estimate would take a fast classical computer about 2.5 billion years to calculate.

So passwords will soon be super easy to to brute force unless you go to absurd extremes in making it long and complex?

I think it'll be up to people to figure out practical uses for it once it becomes more widely available and accessible.

It's as useful as the programs made for it, but computers like this would completely revolutionize the entire idea of computing. 2.6 billion years of computations in 4 minutes makes it more than 300 trillion times the speed of current computers.
