From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]: | |
quantum bogodynamics /kwon'tm boh`goh-di:-nam'iks/ n. A theory that characterizes the universe in terms of bogon sources (such as politicians, used-car salesmen, TV evangelists, and {suit}s in general), bogon sinks (such as taxpayers and computers), and bogosity potential fields. Bogon absorption, of course, causes human beings to behave mindlessly and machines to fail (and may also cause both to emit secondary bogons); however, the precise mechanics of the bogon-computron interaction are not yet understood and remain to be elucidated. Quantum bogodynamics is most often invoked to explain the sharp increase in hardware and software failures in the presence of suits; the latter emit bogons, which the former absorb. See {bogon}, {computron}, {suit}, {psyton}. | |

quantum cell comprising four {quantum dots} arranged in a square, with two diagonally opposed dots containing electron charges. One diagonal containing charges is arbitrarily defined as representing a value of '1', the other as '0'. In a five-dot cell, the fifth, central dot contains no charge. See also: {quantum cell wire}, {quantum-dot cellular} automata. {(http://www.mitre.org/research/nanotech/quantum_dot_cell.html)}. ["Quantum Dot Heterostructures", D. Bimberg, et al, John Wiley & Sons Ltd., Dec 1998]. [Implementations?] (2001-07-17) | |
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]: | |
quantum cell wire {Quantum cells} arranged in a line to carry signals. Adjacent cells with the same orientation are at a low energy state and a change of orientation at one end of a quantum wire propagates along the wire, transmitting a signal. However, unlike conventional wire, since only the orientation of charge pairs changes, no current flows. Circuits created using quantum cell wires are referred to as Quantum-dot Wireless Digital Circuits, see {quantum dot}, {Quantum-dot Cellular Automata}. {(http://www.mitre.org/research/nanotech/quantum_dot_cell.html)}.

quantum computer quantum systems, such as a collection of atoms, to be in many different states at once. In theory, such superpositions allow the computer to perform many different computations simultaneously. This capability is combined with interference among the states to produce answers to some problems, such as factoring integers, much more rapidly than is possible with conventional computers. In practice, such machines have not yet been built due to their extreme sensitivity to noise. {Oxford University (http://eve.physics.ox.ac.uk/QChome.html)}, {Stanford University (http://feynman.stanford.edu/qcomp/)}. A {quantum search algorithm (ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/dynamics/quantum.html)} for {constraint satisfaction} problems exhibits the phase transition for {NP-complete} problems. (1997-02-11) | |

quantum dot of containing a single electrical charge; i.e., a single electron of {Coulomb} charge. Physically, quantum dots are nanometer-size {semiconductor} structures in which the presence or absence of a quantum electron can be used to store information. See also: {quantum cell}, {quantum cell wire}, {quantum-dot cellular automata}. {(http://www-mtl.mit.edu/MTL/bulletin/v6n2/Kumar.html)}. ["Quantum Dot Heterostructures", D.

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata by orientating pairs of {quantum cells} so that their relative positions determine their affect on each other. This is functionally analogous but structurally different from how individual {gates} in {integrated circuits} are combined to create logical and memory circuitry. The advantages of quantum-dot cellular automata over conventional circuitry are extremely small size/high density, low power requirements, and potentially high processing speeds. Disadvantages (in 2000) are difficulty of fabrication and low yield.
