By the time this technology comes out, people could manufacture their own gold or precious jewels. Money wouldn't be needed in that century. Everything would be free.
I think this is highly possible, because science is not an art of magic, this thinking is result as decades of atomic research and nanotechnologhy. But it have to say that i think it'd be better if this techonologhy is applied to practical uses, like in medicine ( and some time later in cutting edge PC for GAMES ;D j/k..., well not lol )
Seen the vid and nothing to do with the machine in this vid. Perhaps the problem is that the drexlerian view of nanotech was around for quite a while before it was shown that using quantum mechanics allowed you to do things that a classical comp couldn't do. I'm pretty sure that even those at foresight (who after all made the above vid) wouldn't call that a quantum computer.
Note that a QC doesn't even need to be atomically precise.
I'd have to disagree with that statement. Every use of the term quantum computer I have seen has been in reference to a system that uses quantum phenomena such as superposition and entanglement in order to calculate a result. No doubt someone else has used the term QC for your first definition but it simply hasn't caught on. So as much as any word can mean anything, a QC means something that uses Qubits.
Sorry to be a pedant but nothing there was related to quantum computers. Although QC's would massively help the design of such a fabricator. The main problem I foresee is just to build the things. At that sort of scale we're not even making flint tools, just smashing things with rocks as it were.
Early stage Quantum processing computers have already been built. Look it up.
Building them is no more a problem then finishing the research needed and carring out experiments until sucessful.
I'd be more apt to say Nanno tech will be more readily available before QC's and that nanno tech will actually accelerate the development and improve the efficiency of such QC's.
I was referring to Drexlerian view of nanotech shown in this video. Of course there are simple QC's with a handful of qubits have been built. All you need to do is isolate a quantum state from the environment long enough to do a calculation on them. You can do that on a quantum dot at a few degrees above absolute zero and quantum dots are easy to make. The manipulators on the video are damn hard to make to atomic resolution.
Yet ' Molecular manipulators' exist: the active sites of enzymes being the most ubiquitous examples. Once we really begin constructing artificial molecular manipulators, we'll probably discover amazing techniques that will surpass both enzymes and Drexlerian nano-Detroits. Great times lay ahead!
One particularly interesting research area at the mo is metamaterials. Someone recently theoretically worked out how to reverse the Casimir force and hence Van der Waals forces that were the basis of the 'sticky fingers' objection, not that that was a very good objection to begin with, for the reasons Hottides said. Metamaterials also do some really funky things with light which could have some huge implications for nanotech.
That is why either humanity evolves to a higher level of consciousness and adopts the global view of humanity, or we all die b'c some of us are perverted, egoic idiots with high technology... Pray that we actually try and save ourselves. If not, kiss your ass goodbye within 50years.
JUST IMAGINE WHAT WELL BE ABLE TO BUILD!!!!!!!!!

2 words "accelerated returns" this will be here in 12 to 16 years...
This is a truism...

They've made it. I nearly fell out of my chair this morning when i saw it in the paper. D-Wave systems inc. Still trying to find out about it.

This is pure amazing. How could they make a such a device, I want to see a documenty on that how people are planning make such a thing. Pure amazing.
