21. In addition to checking quantum mechanics at a larger scale, macroscopic quantum states could also be used in future quantum computers. 22. One type of quantum computer might store information in hydrogen atoms, the lightest element. 23. Quantum computers rely on the tiniest objects and smallest interactions in the universe. 24. Quantum computers are based on a code different from the binary system of zeroes and ones that is the basis of conventional computers. 25. Practical photon-based quantum computers are a long way off, Laflamme said, and all of their potential uses are still unknown. 26. Quantum computers are based on a different code than the binary system of zeroes and ones that are the basis of conventional computers. 27. Quantum computers rely on the tiniest objects and smallest forces in the universe. 28. Silicon chips are not conscious, nor are the components of any future molecular or quantum computer. 29. Teleporting atomic clouds could be a means of storing output from quantum computers. 30. The device may someday allow the development of quantum computers that are based on light particles rather than the movement of atoms. |
