What is a quantum computer?

How does science work? And what's all this about quantum mechanics?

Such as quantum operators acting (not locally) at whole space, brain synapses are capable of dynamical cross-cruise information field and find / define at first sight obscure context. Now here synapses act as quantum elements dynamicaly finding / naming ("measuring") the discrete reality..., I believe:)

Oh, well now that you've explained it ...

Any computer (even equiped by quantum logic elements) is not able to spontaneously create new algorithm. See simply known example to Gauss sum numbers from 1 to 100. Dynamical synapses grouping, whole data space seeing (at once, not as a sequence) provides effective results...

That's a misunderstanding of the famous story about Gauss. The algorithm was well known. The story is about how clever Gauss was as a young boy.

And (playing Devil's advocate) if a physical mechanism can not discover an algorithm ... how did Gauss do it?

Since he used "quantum computer" ... But excuse me, I meant more like "spontaneously use" instead of "spontaneously create" ...

Blueprint for universal quantum computer. My only question is when?:

Personally NanoTech implemented Rod Logic and will be the next true revolution in Computing, a 'super'-computer in your pocket. If it happens that is.

You don't even have to go that far. Last year IBM announced that they will make their quantum computer (which is more powerful than a supercomputer) accessible to the general public.

Of course they will, but can I fit it in my pocket and use it for anything I want to do?

I believe you can access IBM's computer through the Internet so my answer is yes as long as you have a smartphone. Want me to look up the article and post it?

"And do what?" You raised the question. Don't you know what you want to do?

I do. I also know that 'accessing a quantum computer through your smart phone' is not the same as having a NanoTech Rod Logic machine in your pocket.

Let me ask you this then. What would you hope to gain through the Rod Logic device that you couldn't gain from a smartphone (which is available)?
