A visit to a quantum pool hall leaves poor Mr. Tompkins feeling drunk.
If her latest role takes her outside the Burton orbit, it's a stone's throw as opposed to a quantum leap.
When one turns to a quantum computer for an "answer," that answer, from having been held in that strange entangled way, among many particles, needs then to surface in just one, ordinary, unentangled place.
The ship's technology offers impressive upgrades on familiar 21st-century models, from "printers" that can manufacture anything the travellers require, to a quantum computer so sophisticated it wonders if it should award itself the pronoun "I".
Olli Rehn, the European Commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, said the agreement -- together with a separate pact on broader economic policy coordination among euro zone countries -- "will lead to a quantum leap in economic surveillance for Europe".
In time, though, quantum dots might be used directly as the coloured pixels on screens.When a voltage is applied to a quantum dot it causes electrons contained in the crystal to release energy in the form of light.
He said the Internet had led to a "quantum leap" for distance education providers, particularly in places with good broadband infrastructure like South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Mr. Garfinkel was sometimes likened to a quantum physicist because, in effect, he suggested that the fundamental building blocks of a social order were much smaller and much harder to observe than had been previously believed.
Complex systems like I.B.M.'s Jeopardy-winning juggernaut [Watson](file://localhost/wiki/Watson_(computer)) might profitably integrate a D-Wave box into its work flow as a specialized subprocessor, but one would not want to move all or even most of a system like Watson to a quantum platform anytime in the near future.

D-Wave offers the first public access to a quantum computer.
