Well if one could make a quantum computer with as many quantum particles
as the human brain then hopefully one just has to hook up some kind of
sensory inputs to the environment and some kind of physical outputs to the
environment and the quantum computer would program itself and be self
aware just like a human baby... the difference between a quantum computer
and a conventional one is that a quantum computer has links to possible
futures, it has parallel processing for each bit of memory, and it
operates using probabilities instead of being deterministic... IBM's 4 bit
quantum computer is able to do the equivalent of always choosing the one
door of four that has something behind it... a conventional computer
would have to open on average more than two doors... this is equivalent
to a human brain being able to form a thought without having to
consciously run through all the possible thoughts... John
