What Speed Won't We Use Transistors Anymore?

[brakezone]

quantum computers have never used light to do calculation; however, they have used light in order to give thier Q-bit (a quantum level particle) input, and have used light to retrieve some kind of output.

Here is an article which discusses parrellel universes and quantum physics. Quantum physics is well entrenched, sure its a theory, but so is E=mc^2 and I don't see anybody debating that.

Sure, when it comes to the laws of physics, generally there are NO laws. Each point in space has its own unique physics, its own unique properties- thats just the way things are, its a type of infinite diversity which makes existance such a very powerful and generally recognized natural occurance.

If you want to learn more about the methods by which a quantum computer can be programmed, check out a high level programming language for quantum computers, there are also quantum computer simulators and much information and concepts dealing with quantum physics!

How fast do we honestly need processors to get. The only reason we keep needing more speed is mroe software bloat from Microsoft.

as long as there is lag, or loading times, we will say we need more.

Although it is nice to have higher frames rates in games, better on the eyes in a way.

And video encoding.

my friend i know added-

Technically, I could design something that makes an atom bomb produce a very large cheeseburger

Well, see, the detonation releases gamma rays. Two intersecting gamma rays can be made to form a subatomic particle. So you can use a device that produces a complex magnetic field structure, to force the released gamma rays to line up and interact in such a way to materialized through gamma-gamma collisions, all the subatomic particles required to comprise a cheeseburger with everything on it.

Although this sound's kind of far fetched. It actually has some logic, especially if you can get chips with that hamburger.

No, not a hamburger...we'll only making CHEESEburgers...
