quantum computing avant la lettre ? That is mighty interesting ... allow me to push it on the stack right after "introduction to python" ... seems its going to be hard to do automated posts without any bit of python so i guess i'll have to ... thanks a lot for the link , that looks REALLY interesting
experiments in quantum computing ... 
I had a lot of fun to read this post. However, note this is very far from my zone of comfort ;)
i guess that zone is what makes people unique in a way, or at least partially defines us. The way i see it life is analogue, not digital so there's an infinite number of possibilites between yes and no, just like there are points between two points on a line or numbers between any two numbers.
Which means (imo) its impossible to define and box it up , categorized and measure exactly in a spreadheet like , what was that word ... quadrillage :p
i think it's a venn-diagram with overlapping zones, maybe bubble universes are the same and in some parts they don't collide but overlap ...
i guess a question for after when its possible to measure this one by approximation :)
