Quantum Computer Quotes

#1. If you imagine the difference between an abacus and the world's fastest supercomputer, you would still not have the barest inkling of how much more powerful a quantum computer could be compared with the computers we have today.

Marcus Chown

#2. The universe is a quantum computer. Since you can simulate any set of particle interactions with a quantum computer made of the same number of particles, then there's no practical difference between the universe and a quantum computer simulating the universe.

David Walton

#3. DNA is a quantum computer that localizes a non local omnipresent consciousness or spirit into space time energy information and matter.

Deepak Chopra

#4. Singh in computational biology held forth on her theory of the protomolecule as a Guzman-style quantum computer one night over dinner, and when Kibushi used the information without citing her, she snuck into the showers at the gymnasium and beat him to death with a ceramic workbench cap.

James S.A. Corey

#5. A thousand-bit quantum computer would vastly outperform any conceivable DNA computer, or for that matter any conceivable nonquantum computer.

Ray Kurzweil

#6. 250 qubits, it is possible to represent roughly 1075 combinations, which is greater than the number of atoms in the universe. If it were possible to achieve the appropriate superposition with 250 particles, then a quantum computer could perform 1075 simultaneous computations,

Simon Singh

#7. Qafzeh's algorithms - if implemented properly on a particular architecture of quantum computer - led to a net heat loss from the local universe. A cryo-arithmetic engine was in essence just a computer, running computational cycles. Unlike ordinary computers, however, it got colder the faster it ran.

Alastair Reynolds

#8. The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

Seth Lloyd

#9. Because a quantum computer deals with 1's and 0's that are in a quantum superposition, they are called quantum bits, or qubits (pronounced "cubits"). The advantage of qubits becomes even clearer when we consider more particles.

Simon Singh

#10. They held each other and wept as the night closed its fist around their tiny shelter, and the world below them seethed with killers both living and dead.

Jonathan Maberry

#11. My father died the year I was elected to Congress: 1987.

Nancy Pelosi

#12. In moments they would be here - the ones Kircher had called the Cenobites, theologians of the Order of the Gash. Summoned from their experiments in the higher reaches of pleasure, to bring their ageless heads into a world of rain and failure.

Clive Barker

#13. Thanksgiving is so called because we are all so thankful that it only comes once a year.

P. J. O'Rourke

#14. I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.

Bertrand Russell

#15. All perception is the result of electrical impulses in the brain - the world of the individual is tantamount to a highly advanced computer running and analyzing programs in its working memory.

Kevin Michel

#16. The most important application of quantum computing in the future is likely to be a computer simulation of quantum systems, because that's an application where we know for sure that quantum systems in general cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer.

David Deutsch

#17. Crazy little sting called love.

Lime Craven

#18. Anyone who has been around Washington politics long enough can't avoid this truism: Election-year money is like a rushing river that invariably finds cracks in any dam the reformers erect.

Nina Easton

#19. I like having my picture taken and being a glamorous person. Sometimes when I find myself getting impatient, I just remember the times I cried my eyes out because nobody wanted to take my picture at the Trocadero.

Rita Hayworth

#20. Yes, I am a quantum mechanic! Those darn quantum computers break all the time.

Seth Lloyd

#21. When you zap things with light to build quantum computers, you're hacking existing systems. You're hijacking the computation that's already happening in the universe, just like a hacker takes over someone else's computer.

Seth Lloyd

#22. Sometimes you buy a book, powerfully drawn to it, but then it just sits on the shelf. Maybe you flick through it, the ghost of your original purpose at your elbow, but it's not so much rereading as re-dusting. Then one day you pick it up, take notice of the contents; your inner life realigns.

Hilary Mantel

#23. Did ever woman, since the creation of the world, interrupt a man with such a silly question?

Laurence Sterne

#24. As of 2011, it cost about $5,000 to launch a tech startup.

Peter Diamandis

#25. Trying to get a read on Apple Computer is a lot like learning about quantum physics; you can never know Apple's position on a technology, and its direction, simultaneously.

Mark Pesce

#26. My tag line for 'Silver Linings' is this: It's about a man who thinks his life is a movie produced by God.

Matthew Quick

#27. I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn't be doing this by my own power.

Francis Chan
