The Universe is a Quantum Computer of Wonder
To make the assumption that our universe is a vast quantum computer is not to throughout the concrete evidences found in Classical Physics. Nor is it the abolishing of the religious philosophy of a Creator/Designer who resides over the universe. The thought of our universe being a computer simulation, and humanity being part of this simulation does not get rid of science or faith, but rather enhances the two.
Before I show our universe as a vast quantum computer, I think it is imperative for the reader to know exactly what a computer is.
A computer by definition is:
“One that computes specifically: a programmable usually electronic device that can store, retrieve and process data.”
“Computer” Definition: Merriam-Webster
“An electronic device that stores and manipulates information. Unlike a calculator, it is able to store a program and retrieve information from its memory. Most computers today are digital which means they perform operations with quantities represented electronically as digits.”
“Computer” Definition: Dictionary.com
“A computer is a device that accepts information (in the form of digitized data) and manipulates it for some result based on a program or some sequence of instructions on how the data is to be processed.”
“Compter” Definition: TechTarget
In a nutshell, a computer is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary fashion according to instructions given to it in a variable program. A quantum computer, however, is a hypothetical machine that would exploit the principles of Quantum Mechanics, the principles that govern our subatomic world.
My reasons for referencing our universe a “quantum” computer instead of a computer like the ones we use today is because; the hypothesized quantum computer is a computer that makes full use of the quantum states of subatomic particles to store information. Although today’s computers, and the entire technological revolution is founded upon Quantum Mechanics; we have not yet learned to unleash its full magnitude of quantum potential in our technological devices. But it will be only a matter of time before we create our first advanced quantum computer. And it will be a correspondence of our technology and our universe at large because; all of what we consider physical reality works like one big quantum computer.
OUR COMPUTERS AND QUANTUM COMPUTERS
As discussed in chapter 6 under, “Our Physical Universe is a Binary System,” with classical computers, a bit (0 or 1) is the smallest unit of information. Instead of classical bits, quantum computers will use qubits, which can also be set to one of two values, plus an additional value:
BINARY QUANTUM QUBITS
Ø Qubit (0)
Ø Qubit (1)
Ø Qubit (0 and 1 simultaneously)
The versatility of the qubit is what will give the quantum computer its superiority over our classical computers. The versatility of the photon particle is what gives the quantum world of reality we live in superiority over our world of technology.
In a quantum computer, there are a number of subatomic particles that can be used for its qubit. The atom’s nuclide, or the atom’s electron, or the photon particle can be used as a qubit in a quantum computer.
Like the classical computer with their information bit states of 0 and 1; because of the full scale process of the subatomic particle; in a quantum computer, the 0 and 1 possible states is reflected in the photon bit’ potential with the particle’s horizontal or vertical polarization.
SUPERPOSITION = MEASUREMENT PROBLEM
As mentioned above, in the quantum world, the qubit does not have to be in just one of the individual states of 0 or 1. But on the contrary, the single qubit of the quantum computer, like the photon of Quantum Mechanics, can be in any proportion of both of those states simultaneous. This is called by Quantum Physicists, “superposition.” This superposition becomes a “Measurement Problem” for Quantum Physicists because; as soon as you test a quantum state’s value, say by sending a photon through a filter, it then collapses to either vertical or horizontally polarization. To the unobserved the qubit/photon particle stays in a superposition wave of what is termed “probability waves” for 0 and 1 qubit. But the instant you measure the probability wave, it collapses into one of the definite states of a photon (qubit) particle.
BITS VS. QUBITS
In classical computers, four classical bits can be in one of “two to the power of four (24)” configurations at a time. This equals sixteen possible combination out of which you can execute just one.
With quantum computations, four qubits in superposition can be in all those sixteen combinations at once. And this number grows exponentially with each extra qubit. For instance, twenty qubits can store a million values.
In reference to subatomic particles, as I mentioned in the previous chapter; our universe utilizes the nuclide (proton/neutron) of an atom, along with its electron and the photon particle to manifest our physical reality. No one disputes this. These same particles are manipulated through technology to manifest our fantasy realities: video games, holograms, etc.
