[dba-Tech] Is there an end to computer power growth?

The Quantum chips capability to be in many states, not just one or zero, is
very much like the human brain. (That is why we are confused so easily...

I didn't know about that one.  I'm referring to a computer built using

about it enough it will start to sink in!
