Default US 'World Genius' Touts 6.8GHz 'Quantum-Optical' CPU


Not sure if this guy is full of it or not, but if he is telling the truth,
WOW!

PCs have a ceiling with regard to speed. Loosely stated, the PC architecture
must change to a different platform soon. There are too many limitations
with the current system. For example, excessive heat, attenuation (as
systems get smaller and smaller), etc, etc. It has been said that the next
generation of CPUs will be Quantum based.

Reading is your friend Jim, don't fear it.

Sure looks like he also built a time machine.

And what is that ceiling?

Perhaps, but what is it you are suggesting.

How does making it smaller increase attenuation? And What level of heat is
"excessive" ( current machines are of order 10^10 above the thermodynamic
limit of dissipation per quantum gate-- assuming dissipative gates)

Since the world is quantum based, that is a pretty safe prediction.

It depends on what you read.

If anyone want one I will sell it to you for $100. The thing is, you
send me the cash now and I don't have to deliver until they are
available. No money back guarantee. And I can also guarantee your
level of satisfaction. (I make no claims here of what level that will
be.)

Hehe. You've got my $100 if you can explain how 'quantum-optical' is not
a logical impossibility.

Hummm. are you saying that their are no limitations in the current CPU and
buss architectures? I am confused please explain.

I am not an electrical engineer. I am a software engineer (well, my degree
anyway). As such I am not suggesting anything. Just found an article that I
though was interesting relating to computing.

It is my understanding that as the CPUs get smalled, the "walls" in between
the paths also get smaller. As such there are limitations on small they can
become before two paths, close to each other, start to interfere with each
other. Again, sorry about the lack in electrical engineering "speak" my
degree is in software

You knew as well as I, I was speaking about quantum computing. Not the
quantifying of life

You claimed a ceiling,I didn't. YOu need to justify your statement.

"must change to a different platform soon" is not the statement of someone
who claims to know nothing.

And you did not just find an interesting article, you made editorial
comments about it as well.

That is not attenuation it is crosstalk.

Quantum computing is NOT the next generation of CPUs. Quantum computing may
be good for some tasks but certainly not general purpose computing.
And in quantum computing Moores law is logarithmic. Ie, the number of bits
increases by one every two years, (not doubling)

Some reading is a waste of time. (Eg, Angels and Demons)

Never said it was a logical impossibly, I am just saying that this
thing is a hoax.
