Jay Rose Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 https://nyti.ms/2VjVWjA Researchers have sent a very tiny simulated atom back in time a fraction of a second, using a small public quantum computer. In other words, while you can't know both its velocity and the location at the same time, they've managed to compute how a wave function "got here" and reverse both to where it started. While complexity increases geometrically, a much larger future computer could conceivably scale this up. Yes, it was only a few qubits, on a tiny slice of IBM's smallest quantum computer. But consider how far binary computers have come in the past fifty years... [Please forgive the whimsical topic line. This is much more important than that.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillweii Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Very cool. ive been pondering something similar but in terms of surveillance . With gravity bending light in space , light might be only able to travel so far without bending back around . Imagine a future where we can look back at earth a la google maps and see light movement of history . Colonial Britain , ancient Asia , dinosaur era all holographic in substance , but we are able to see actual events as they played out via telescope . Technically every thing that we do outside now could possibly be seen by our future ancestors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
