  • Abstract
    This paper presents a different kind of computer that will exploit the peculiarities of the quantum world to accomplish number-crunching feats that are currently impossible. The principles by which a quantum computer would work are quite different from those governing today´s classical computers. Despite current processor and memory designs already having to take quantum mechanical effects into account, quantum computing is something far stranger
