8th Post of Project

This week I'm going to move away from the idea of Virtual Reality and move to a more complicated topic known as Quantum Computing and Gaming. To understand this idea you first must understand how computers work. So the main idea you need to know is that all computers have tiny boxes or switches on the computer chips inside of them. The number of switches determine how powerful a computer is. The more power a computer has the more tasks the computer can complete. So the problem we're running into today is that these switches can only be so small and we can only have so many on a chip. What's the solution, Quantum Computing. This might sound complicated. But all it really means is tiny engineering of computers. How tiny? How about the size of atoms. By making these switches the size of atoms we can put an enormous amount on a chip. Making the power of the computer become beyond our comprehension. The issue with making these switches is that when something is the size of an atom that means we have to maneuver around the atoms that are already there and dealing with atoms is a lot different than anything else we have dealt with. Atoms don't really follow the laws of physics we know of and use every day. Imagine this, A switch in a computer has 2 options. On or Off. The problem atoms have is that atoms will hit both on and off at the same time, or none of the options, or one of the options an unlimited number of times. And since these atoms are so small, we don't know any of the options it will choose. This is the problem with Quantum computing. The possible solution to this is a certain type of bit. Bits are the on and off part of the switch. But a Quantum bit is a bit that doesn't have a set option. The bit can adjust itself. The problem is this bit will only work with an atom and not the base of all current computers. To utilize this idea of Quantum switches we would have to throw away everything we know of current computers. Since nothing would work the way we expect it to. However the benefits of this idea are unfathomable. When two atoms interact with each other and then move away, they maintain a bond of power, the likes we can't explain. This opens up an unlimited amount of possibilities with computers and in turn Gaming.
