X-Message-Number: 17176 From: Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2001 09:14:17 EDT Subject: nanocomputing As said in another message, there is a big problem with the computing power requested by a nanorepair device and its physical possibilities. Here I suggest a way to find a solution: The use of quantum computers. Assume for example there is a one qbit (quantum bit) computer on a nano device, this seems a physical possibility. Now, what if we entangle that qbit processor with another similar processor? We would end up with a two qbit quantum computer (QC)... If there are 1000 such elementary one qbit computers entangled, they behave as a single 1000 qbits QC. Such a system may process 2^1000 or near 10^300 operations on 1000 bits words for every computing cycle. This is a tremendous power, far beyond actual supercomputer capabilities. To repair a full body, there would be many billions nano devices at work, so the computing power would not be a limit for them : Every time you add one element, the computing ressouces are x2.. Superfluid bubbles have a quantum limited dimension, smaller bubbles are entangled parts of a larger bubble, this is a way to get entangled systems even inside a frozen body. The last problem is to find a way to make usefull work with such a distributed computer. It seems there must be a front end QC entangled with the one bit swarm. This front end computer would be outside the body to be sure. Yvan Bozzonetti. Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17176
