Quantum Mechanics states that the uncertainty of such a conglomeration is about 1 in 200 Billion - ie, the 'bit' is only certain to that degree. Given that a processor at this speed will process many times this amount per second, it is impossible for a processor to run at this architectural scale because one in every 250 Billion bits will be corrupted - which is fatal.
I'm curious.... could a processor be built with part of it using that "feature" of quantum mechanics to deliberately corrupt data?:) We could then have an instruction that would feed some information to that part of the processor, and have it return a true random number....
there are a lot of algorithms out there that rely on intensive calls to pseudo-random number generators (genetic algorithms come to mind) which would greately benefit from this!..
