Took 24 hrs to warm up to maintain and another 24 to cool it back down to operational state. In a message dated 12/8/2013 11:44:07 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
learned in school. Maybe then they could get past their quantum decoherence deficiencies and quell doubters' objections.Unimagined in 1970s data processing is the quantum bit, the qubit, a bit with an additional "superposition state" (basically true and false at the same time). Would a qubit be considered binary or ternary? If ternary, it would have asymmetric values: two states plus a superposition of the other two states.The concepts of binary, ternary, decimal and hexadecimal are unified because they all always ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
