New Idea Could Lead to Quantum RAM
KentuckyFC writes to tell us that scientists in Italy and the US have designed a new method of retrieving information from quantum memory that could allow them to create "Quantum RAM". "Giovannetti's idea is to send the address down the branching tree of connections in such a way that it only affects one switch at a time. The first address qubit sets a switch at the first branching point to go one way or the other; the second qubit is sent that way and sets the switch at the next branching point, and so on. The total number of entangled quantum systems is smaller, and they are not so susceptible to interference, allowing information to be retrieved from memory intact."
Here- I'll just clear all these out of the way:
In Soviet Russia, do our Quantum Ram overlords welcome me, for one, while running a beowulf cluster of linux boxes?
Okay, now we can carry on with the real discussion. Those that feel that all such "obligatory" comments must be made on *every* article can rest appeased, while the rest of us carry on with the real discussion.
[Guy 1] Hey, I had porn loaded into memory
[Guy 2] You changed it by looking at it!
How else will be I be able to add it to my gaming rig. Do you think this memory has lights on it? I hope so, and that'd look great through my case's side-windows.
I don't understand quantum computing..

Does that mean my data can travel back and forth through time, but only within my own lifetime?

...3D Realms has announced that Duke Nukem Forever will require installation of quantum RAM.

i wish i had mod points.. although i don't know what i should put.. cause you can onlymod once..
would it be up or down?????

Quantum computers are a real possibility. They just cease to exist if you try to observe them.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
would it be up or down????? Yes
now, everytime you try to measure the release date, it will change!
A goal is a dream with a deadline
Obligatory.

I'd probably go for (+5, Strange).
Must have been Schrödinger's desktop
which is totally what she said
It's all so obvious now!

Even checking "Read Only" would irreversibly damage the contents
Maybe this research is funded by Microsoft.
Pavlov wouldn't be so famous if he'd used a can opener instead of a bell.
Wouldn't it be Yes, No and Both?
Every time I start to have faith in humanity, I ruin it by driving to work between 7 and 8 am.
Very charming.
Tech-geek 1 : How much ram have you got in that rig?
Tech-geek 2 : I'm not sure...
