Assume for example that the CPU is in working order at instant A and is smashed at a later instant B. Being defined as a set of chemical bonds between atoms, I assume the cohesion energy of the elements (atoms) is in the electron volt range. the corresponding wave will have a frequency near one million billion cycles per second. We know from quantum mechanics that the time arrow is not defined for duration far shorter than the time it take to complete a cycle, here one millionth of billionth of a second. this is the "present" duration for any chemical structure. Now assume we use mega waves with wavelenght near one billion km to see the event. Here, a single cycle takes one hour to be completed, so this is in rough term the persent duration. We could use squeezed states to see the inch scale CPU with such waves for example. Now, if the instant A and B are less than one hour in the past we must see a superposition of the broken and unbroken CPU. An analog quantum computer could filter out one state, for example the fully unbroken one. Well that assume the broken/unbroken quantum state seen with squeezed mega waves is copied into a similar quantum state inside a quantum computer, the the state would be filtered out and then the result would be teleported into the original quantum system. I have called before that process black magic, it is a particular case of quantum processing. Nothing here is "nano", outside, may be the quantum computer. It would work as well for a computer chip or a biological system such a brain or a full body. Even keept on a back burner, we must be aware of such possibilities.
