Nah it's exactly the same.

What are the logistics of laying fiber yourself? How do you legally dig up the ground and put the fiber down?

JavaScript is not a lisp.

Where is the experimental support?
635.
by gaze 9y ago
This is a bit misleading I think. There are a set of quantum algorithms with deterministic outcomes. The right answer will be measured with probability 1, or something very close...

Naw he looks like a crackpot
637.
by gaze 9y ago
A qudit expands the state space, sure. But now you need universal control over this system so I'm not sure you've bought anything. Also, a system will decay from energy level n to n-1 faster when n is larger... so like eh.

I don't think you understand why quantum computers are powerful.

by gaze 9y ago
It's because in a dilution refrigerator, the bottom of the dilution unit gets cold. So its easier to put the coldest part at the bottom.
640.
by gaze 9y ago
Yeah, that would make sense, but I don't imagine it's a hard cutoff. It may be that you get diminishing information per unit energy at a length scale related to the Planck length or something.
641.
by gaze 9y ago
Yes I too can contrive a thought experiment that combines a bunch of physical constants. It's hardly a construct. It's just a length. It might mean something. It might mean something when multiplied by pi or a tenth or whatever. I

The first one is true, the second is total speculation.
643.
by gaze 9y ago
But it's meaningless today.
644.
by gaze 9y ago
The Planck length has no physical meaning. It's just a combination of physical constants that gives a length. It's considered a scale at which quantum gravitational effects become significant, but it's just that, a scale. It

Ammunition of the sort you're talking about doesn't really matter when they're willing to just lie.

The particle-wave duality thing ended like 40 years ago. Particles are just excitations of the associated field.

Has someone found a particle for which some exchange yields something like a magic state? I've been told that known nonabelian anyons can only be exchanged up to Cliffords
648.
by gaze 9y ago
Ah that's not what I'm saying but it's subtle. Access to hidden variables, if they existed, would allow you to predict a measurement outcome. I'm not saying that. I'm saying the wave function is a tool that allows y
649.
by gaze 9y ago
The wave function isn't really this thing that physically exists but is really a data structure which exists only in your head that captures the information you have about a quantum system. So yeah collapse is instantaneous, but that&#

I should also say that phase transitions are used to describe the abrupt change in physical parameters as some external conditions are changed. Cellular automata to my knowledge don't really have continuously variable parameters.
651.
by gaze 9y ago
Long range order is sometimes exhibited by cellular automata, but cellular automata is too general a framework much of the time to be a useful calculational tool. In other words, they do know of it, and the formalism doesn't make these

Oh look, a crank

It looks excellent, and I love cl, but it's just too expensive.
654.
by gaze 10y ago
Hah. There's also Log vs log. Capital L Log is the set of solutions to C=exp(z), so is defined up to i 2 pi*n where n is an integer

Electrons are always moving, at the fermi velocity.
658.
by gaze 10y ago
What do you mean? Electrons move near the fermi velocity.
659.
by gaze 10y ago
I'd definitely say electrons propagate through wires to carry signals. The electrons charge the gates on the fets which opens or closes the channel, which allows electrons to flow through another wire. I wouldn't say it's ter

by gaze 10y ago
If I understand correctly, Intel CPUs around that time were super deeply pipelined so you could meet timing closure at such high frequencies. So yeah you can keep pushing the clock-speeds up and up but now a mispredicted branch really shoot
