Ah, of course, the old chained Zeno' effect, how ludicrously simple!  :tumbleweed:

actually i have had my computer running like that for quite some time now... hrmph hehe

Sounds pretty amazingly cool... reminds me of the hitchhikers guide.
Were they build the big amazing computer and just after they turn it on it gets all the way to (i think) realising it's own existense before anybody could turn it off hehe

But the whole point of the Schrodinger's cat thing is that you simply cant tell what state the cat is in. How can you run a calculation based on not knowing the outcome of a binary state? Surely you would just have infinite variables? It would be like binary 0.5 wouldn't it?

Through clever use of beam splitters and both constructive and destructive interference, the researchers can put each photon in a superposition of taking two paths. Although a photon can occupy multiple places simultaneously, it can only make an actual appearance at one location. Its presence defines its path, and that can, in a very strange way, negate the need for the search algorithm to run.

Im glad they FINALLY listened to me.

Alcohol and a very small amount of physics knowledge require a great deal of time to be processed.
