Egineers develop new control electronics for quantum computers -- nice board

Good one.

Even better Ejitneers.

What now Jan? Have you turned into a quantum convert?

Hehe, well I am still waiting for the kwantuum computah to appear in the local shop. There was a recent joke in sci.crypt:

:-)

But the article shows the problems with the short lifetime of the quantum state.

As to 'supper computahs'. Our brain is much better at solving complex problems. Not so much silly mamamatical cracking but the bigger view. IMNSHO.

The quantum jive somehow always reminds me of analog computers, like many states a capacitor can hold many voltage levels.

In essence we are all quantum coupled, quite possible the brain already uses it, likely even. we are just discovering.

Sadly, quantisation implies a finite number of discrete levels

Not an original thought, but a fairly silly one. Being as smart as Roger Penrose doesn't stop you from having silly ideas, and defending them with bizarre suppositions. Being as silly as Jan makes you a sucker for that kind of pointless speculation.

I was just wondering. You refute the existence of photons, even though there is good evidence, and now you talk of quantum coupled brains, which is balderdash. I think your world view is in need of a spring cleaning.

Really? most fishsicks today is wrong. Bunch of idiots at CERN think that by shooting a Mercedes and Ferrari together at 10,000 km/h will give them insight into how the car's electronics work. Ever faster collisions, God particle, money sucking crap, only thing those tunnels are good for is bomb shelters. once the US attacks to get hold of the Swiss banks.

Photon is just a mamamatical construction by their religious leader Onestone. I have spoken.

You do realize that if I wiggle a what you earthlings call 'electron'; its effect if felt a bit later anywhere else by all other electrons?

Simply explained for example by seeing that a state of a Le Sage type particle is a transmitter for EM radiation. Wow, now graffiti and lied have the same speed.

xcuse my rand earthling Back to the tunnels you go!

According to Jan.

<snipped feeble attempt at satire>

Wrong.

Gibbered.

<snipped more nonsense>

Jan, you're losing your touch. You have to target your trolling a bit better for maximum effect. ;) (Maybe you're trying to chase 'rbowman' out of your rightful ecological niche. He has been making a bid for it lately, whoever he is. Or maybe he wants to be the new John Fields, but isn't amusing enough.)

You could actually learn something here, earthing

Earthing is very important, as any English electrician or crystal radio enthusiast could tell you.

Here is a good survey article on quantum computing:

I actually have a patent in quantum computing, though I haven't done anything there since leaving IBM. ;)

Or maybe we all just need to take Jan's stuff at the intended level, i.e. mainly teasing, which makes it fun. He's very good at winding up the more solemn folks here, and seems to have a very good time doing it.

Stolid leftists, andipodean loonies, Windows enthusiasts, and Californians seem to make excellent subjects. ;)

I just noticed that my kill list eliminates over 75% of all postings in this news group, but Jan isn't on it. I think he's actually a nice fellow.

Jeroen Belleman

Agreed, though he'll probably ridicule us unmercifully for complimenting him. ;)

Cheers

But the Le Sage corpuscular theory of gravity?

It has impressed any number of fairly impressive people as superficially plausible, but once they get stuck into it, it comes to pieces. As teasing goes, it's pretty irresponsible. If it provoked Feynman into wasting time on it, less talented people could waste a lot more time thinking about it before they chucked it out.
