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

The enormous machines in the basement of the computer building provided heat for both our building and the mathematics tower next door.
