Re: Achievement in Quantum Computing
This is an impressive step. And, it's interesting to compare these things, even as projected, with the human brain.
Brains have about 100 billion cells, each with about 1,000 synapses. That's pretty straightforward, and a computer could be built which is competitive.
What sets the brain apart is the neuro-transmitters, of which there may be about 100. They are utilized on an analog basis, providing an almost limitless variety.
By contrast, the quantum computers have 4 states for each "switch".
AND, I hope they push this technology as far and as fast as they can. It's absolutely intriguing.
