Subscribe to RSS feedWhat do you call a quantum computer built in the shape of a cubic lattice and containing 450000 qubits?
Noah's ark, of course! Genesis 6:14. Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Dave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.)
Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

Well I guess I got it wrong. I thought it might be a Rubik's qubit.

You mean Genesis 6:15?

And Solomon's Temple was 60 qubits by 20 qubits — no wonder the stories from that era always sound so decoherent.

Don't forget, on the first passover, the angel of death used the First Born Approximation.

logical or physical qubits?????
Posted by: Perry | December 27, 2007 5:37 PM
I think they must be logical qubits or else the whole ark would fall apart. On the other hand maybe this is why they haven't discovered the remains of the ark: all those cubic cubits decohered. (Though this leaves the problem of where the classical bits are...)

Didn't "the classical bits" get left behind, along with dinosaurs and "the last unicorn"?
