"However, quantum computing can, in theory, solve certain NP complete problem in polynomial time."

If you can solve one NP complete problem in polynomial time, you can solve them all.

Quantum computers can't solve NP complete problems in polynomial time. That is incorrect.
But it can solve some other troublesome problems that can't be solved in polynomial time with a conventional computer.

Comment But is it necessary? (Score 2) 163

The Sun sends out charged particles that hit the surface of the moon constantly. However, in many of the craters, the particles don't reach the crater flood because they are masked by the crater walls.

This causes a strong electrical potential difference. Ie. moon craters are essentially batteries. You should be able to connect a wire between the crater floor and the crater top that would cause electricity to flow and you'd get an endless source of energy.

Why bother with reactors when you can simply take a few wires?
