ou can't put a ‘1’ ina memory location and be sure when you come to read it you will get a ‘1’ back. You have to factor in the possibility of error. Quantum effects can be annoying - requiring us to devise all manner of error checking hardware — but they can also be helpful. Richard Feynman proposed using

ating the first plays; tragedies, comedies and the like, but serious thinkers thought of them as documenting the human condition. It wasn't until the Renaissance, 1500 years later, that humans began to appreciate that they create knowledge, and this started us on our quest to understand creativity. One of my c

Quantum mechanics is named ‘quantum because ail the readings must be whole numbers. You will never see 10% spin in x, 90% in y and 85% in z; just ones, and z

cientists John Padgett and Walter Powell, after considering examples of epochal, collapsing change in political and biological systems of all sorts - Renaissance finance markets, coral reefs, innovation clusters, and others - summed up their conclusions in a little koan-like package of logic: “In the short run

And we know that, lingering ahead of us now, as well, are a series of technological leaps that will breed still faster interaction and creation: Quantum computing, for instance, may yet push computer to speeds to 100 billion times faster than what is achievable with older technology.
