3 Quantum Computing: Dream or Nightmare? Haroche and Raimond, Physics Today, August 96 page 51
4 Basically any physical system can "compute" as one "just" needs a system that gives answers that depend on inputs and all physical systems have this property
5 Thus one can build "superconducting" "DNA" or "Quantum" computers exploiting respectively superconducting molecular or quantum mechanical rules
