#quantumcomputing

In the early 90's I presented an idea for holographic computers to an MIT physicist PHd. I'm just a lowly geologist. I don't know the logic involved, but I was thinking about the birefringence of crystals, the spectrum of frequencies, and was confused by the need for on/off logic. The heat of electron flow, etc.
I still don't know the answers, just wanted to document, and maybe spur ideas.

Of course, besides the critique, they also provide guidance on how a "real" #quantum factorization experiment should be designed.

The text is easy to read even without #QuantumComputing background.

And it is absolutely worthwhile to at least read the footnotes. Some of them definitely made my day!

IACR Cryptology ePrint Archive · Replication of Quantum Factorisation Records with an 8-bit Home Computer, an Abacus, and a DogThis paper presents implementations that match and, where possible, exceed current quantum factorisation records using a VIC-20 8-bit home computer from 1981, an abacus, and a dog. We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.
