Secs 221.7
Quantum-Mechanical Computers by Seth Lloyd, Scientific American, Oct 95

Quantum Computing: Dream or Nightmare? Haroche and Raimond, Physics Today, August 96 page 51
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
Thus one can build "superconducting" "DNA" or "Quantum" computers exploiting respectively superconducting molecular or quantum mechanical rules
