I am still not sure about the best way to explain quantum mechanics.<br /><br />It would be great if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics allowed us to make super-fast computers. But we just don't have any proof that it is possible.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-25143333062922673462011-08-21T12:50:17.967-07:002011-08-21T12:50:17.967-07:00From what you say, quantum computers are in effect...From what you say, quantum computers are in effect an experiment that has yet to succeed. I suppose we have to give it time, but at what point should we be looking for new theories rather than plug away at the old ones?<br /><br />Reading the Kindle version of your book at the moment.

So I could be wrong.

Quantum computers are contrary to the pre-quantum laws of physics. Much of quantum mechanics has been verified by experiment, but not the part that allows quantum computers. So maybe there is a law of physics that forbids quantum computers.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474078324293158376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8148573551417578681.post-81594512422163310242011-08-20T07:57:16.866-07:002011-08-20T07:57:16.866-07:00"At some point, we are going to have to admit..."At some point, we are going to have to admit that it is impossible"<br /><br />As a non-physicist I have to ask - why impossible?A K Haarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897490979828603179noreply@blogger.com
