I like seeing my friends at school though, so i guess i'll just go with lucnh.

is any device for computation that makes direct use of distinctively quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. In a classical (or conventional) computer, the amount of data is measured by bits; in a quantum computer, the data is measured by qubits. The basic principle of quantum computation is that the quantum properties of particles can be used to represent and structure data, and that quantum mechanisms can be devised and built to perform operations with these data.[1]

Though quantum computing is still in its infancy, experiments have been carried out in which quantum computational operations were executed on a very small number of qubits. Research in both theoretical and practical areas continues at a frantic pace, and many national government and military funding agencies support quantum computing research to develop quantum computers for both civilian and national security purposes, such as cryptanalysis.[2] (See Timeline of quantum computing for details on current and past progress.)

It is widely believed that if large-scale quantum computers can be built, they will be able to solve certain problems exponentially faster than any classical computer. Quantum computers are different from other computers such as DNA computers and computers based on transistors, even though these may ultimately use some kind of quantum mechanical effect (for example covalent bonds). Some computing architectures such as optical computers may use classical superposition of electromagnetic waves, but without some specifically quantum mechanical resource such as entanglement, they do not share the potential for computational speed-up of quantum computers.

A classical computer has a memory made up of bits, where each bit holds either a one or a zero. The device computes by manipulating those bits, i.e. by transporting these bits from memory to (possibly a suite of) logic gates and back. A quantum computer maintains a vector of qubits. A qubit can hold a one, a zero, or, crucially, a superposition of these. A quantum computer operates by manipulating those qubits, i.e. by transporting these bits from memory to (possibly a suite of) quantum logic gates and back.

An example of an implementation of qubits for a quantum computer would be the use of particles with two spin states: "up" and "down" (typically written |0\rangle and |1\rangle). But in fact any system possessing an observable quantity A which is conserved under time evolution and such that A has at least two discrete and sufficiently spaced consecutive eigenvalues, is a suitable candidate for implementing a qubit. That's because any such system can be mapped onto an effective spin-1/2.

What do you think? Please respond with some info, not just a "thats cool"

Thanks

Pokemons way back there, can't believe they still make cards.

BF2all the way.

"KFC has been a part of our American traditions for many years. Many people, day in and day out, eat at KFC religiously. Do they really know what they are eating? During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire, they found some very upsetting facts.

"First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently, the company has changed their name? Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC. Does anybody know why? We thought the real reason was because of the "FRIED" food issue. It's not. The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore. Why? KFC does not use real chickens. They actually use genetically manipulated organisms. These so called "chickens" are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure. They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them. This is great for KFC because they do not have to pay so much for their production costs. There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet.

"The government has told them to change all of their menus so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this. Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken. I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.

thats not true, but mc.shits does use 50%mealworm in their meat.

and its a drain on our economy.

Then theres always this!

Don't get vista i hear it's horrible.

Thats not rules, its common sense, they don't need the govt. breething down their back.

The godfather rocks, so does the game.

Yes many people think the american govt. did it in order to go to war with Iraq and gain more oil. Kinda like the F.D.R. thing were when they attacked pearl harbor, that was the one day patrol pilotes weren't, and our most valuable aircraft carriers were unexpectedly sent away from pearl harbor the day of the attack.

theres no way to prove either way really.

Nice to meet you, I hope you enjoy heliohost.

Maybe X-man.

But i enjoyed twisted metal on PS1

The internet can be very educating, such if you post in debate forums.( thats why i say we get one)

anyways football is the best.

Yes, you could die by having a seisyre though you have a better chance of dieing in a car crash on the way to getting a wii

I support Hillary.

But think about the policies in the middle east, they don't respect women as much so that might make the middle east respect us less.

i dont think hillary would have the "balls" to flip the switch per say if it came down to it....but... maybe a woman president is what this country needs

Would that really be a good ideas. O and yes i think she is looking into getting those "balls."

What do you know?

I heard about the shadow child series. Is it with the family and they have like a 3rd child but they can have only 2? Or is it 3 and 4?

Yes its to, that series is like crack, its addicting.

P.S. house of the scorpian is an extremely good book.

IE doesn't support our coding, IE doesn't support us.

FF all the way.

If we can't have a debate competition, can we at least have a debate section where people must have good fact and reason behind their subject. this would make this forum a lot better.

air! It doesnt take much room, because it doesnt really exist. And you can put it in a box, unless you suck out all the air. Am I right?

Air does exist, it is composed of atoms and does take up space.

In fact it takes up the space of most of our atmosphere.

your lips?

I knew just enough html to make a site lol

What is php used for?

and where can I learn it?

You use macs at school, where do you live?

every place here uses windows including me.

christmas of 2006, lol. i got it three days after i turned 15.

doesnt take up space, the chip to store it takes up space.

binary code is energy.
