| Some chaos exists out there, and the brain seems to have more flexibility than classical physics in finding the order in it. In a paper published last month, researchers propose that this connection between the two fields might finally enable physicists to reach a decades-long goal: to exploit quantum physics to build a computer whose performance would far surpass that of computers based on the classical physics of Isaac Newton. Why, in other words, does the old world of classical physics continue to operate reliably when it is grounded on the strange world of quantum physics? |
