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

lation, the computer would examine the state machine, look up the state in the instruction book and put the machine into its new state. If you recall Searle’s Chinese Room, this is the same process the man in the room followed: get a symbol, look it up in a book, and reply with the corresponding symbol.
