CTW Admin James Posted May 22, 2003 CTW Admin Share Posted May 22, 2003 nice! i've just spent the afternoon reading up on Quantum Entanglement - its cool stuff !

CTW Admin James Posted May 22, 2003 CTW Admin Share Posted May 22, 2003 Quantum Parallelism A one bit memory can store one of the numbers 0 and 1. Likewise a two bit memory can store one of the binary numbers 00, 01, 10 and 11 (i.e. 0, 1, 2 and 3 in base ten). But these memories can only store a single number (e.g. the binary number 10) at a time. As described above, a quantum superposition state allows a qubit to store 0 and 1 simultaneously. Two qubits can store all the 4 binary numbers 00, 01, 10 and 11 simultaneously. Three qubits stores the 8 binary numbers 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110 and 111 simultaneously. The table below shows that 300 qubits can store more than 1090 numbers simultaneously. That's more than the number of atoms in the visible universe! This shows the power of quantum computers: just 300 photons (or 300 ions etc.) can store more numbers than there are atoms in the universe , and calculations can be performed simultaneously on each of these numbers!

CTW Members Capn Jack Posted May 22, 2003 CTW Members Share Posted May 22, 2003 I'll bet M$ OS's will still BSOD on it and will I get cancer from sitting too near it?
