The QCA paradigm

Yeah, I really think this is gonna be the new paradigm. When I first discussed to project with murari, I thought it's just some sort of an extension or modification of the existing thing.. But then I learnt it was related to cellular automata that I had come accross like Comway's game of Life, thanx to stumble upon..

But then, I learnt about the ambitious ideas to implement it using the Quantum devices..That was when I got a 'feel' of how great a thing that it..

Just imagine a small, high speed and low power using device using the Quantum and classical mechanics so splendidly..

Yes, this might not be an end but this could be a quite elegant transition from classical mechanics used for computation, to a really quantum one..

Lets, see what cellular automata is -


It consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as "On" and "Off" . The neighbours determine the state of the cells in the next generation. And changing the generations and using simple rules helps in computation..

So, in quantum CA, we have blocks that have 1 or 0 determined by Quantum states. Also, the interaction between the cells is determined by laws of physics - but in this case, the interaction , in majority of cases confirms with our classical physics that is a bit more intuitive..

Hence, what we have got is quantum units that interact classically.. So, we can exploit the advantages of these units - like small size and power benifits, and at the same time not going away from our classical understandings and keeping our designs simple and intuitive..

As of now, we are able to arrange those blocks to make simple building blocks as wire, majority gates..

What we are working on is basically physical implementation of the building blocks and analysing it's error probabilities (it's quantum afterall, you can rely on it ..but only with a certain probability!!!!) ...

Lets hope we can Rock!!

Too much of love....

At last it's over!!...

This weekend has been a terrible one for me so far. This was simply because there was too much of LOVE in my life - just being involved in it (neither giving and taking).

I have never felt this way ever before. It used to fell so sacred and pure just by thinking about it. But alas, it was all past - just one of my fantasies during adolescence.

Never before, I had given myself a doze of love so powerful. And the result? I got immuned to it. I just freakin' stopped 'feeling' things!!
(I think this could develop into an immunization technique againt love).

So, for all those people who want to fill in their pockets with shining metal, here's the most fool proof technique..

On a extended weekend, just when you are all weary and tired, start watching this 'beautiful' movie - 'Sleepless in Seattle'. But Caution : Don't pre-read it's reviews. And as the title starts falling (this was the best translation of gujarati which I could make :( ), hold your breath and let the testosterone (i dunno if it's adrenaline or testosterone) flow gushing through your arteries and be prepared to be thrilled.

By the time you are finished watching the movie, you have learnt four things - 1.What bullshit?? 2. The child was so irritating .. and 3. Estrogen has dampened the spirits of Testosterone. 4. Who your next deaktop wallpaper is..

So, after wasting three hours of your precious sleep, you settle for 7 hours of sleep and wake up in the morning.

Again, you want to read a love novel (this time you have read the reviews - so you are cutting your arm yourselves) so that you repair the damage done (not by the movie - but you realise how much you have been damaged after the movie). So, you read the 'fiction' for 'self-help' . When you complete the novel, you have gone into a chronic depression (what does that even mean??)..Now is the time you do the thing that gives you 'real' pleasure.. Yes, that's what every single (and lucky!!) boy does -- you open up your laptop and start which occupies your computer's screen 70 percent of the time.. You start the best thing that works on your 'ancient' lappi - ROADRASH..


The final Conclusion Of the experiment : You killed the heart and the heart is happy!! .. QED..

PS : M going for filing this patent at the earliest..

Why is harry potter so appealing???

The answer to this quation might sound trivial but i guess it is not so. I started reading hp8 in the starting of the year

(Pretty late to complete harry potter series!!) but it so happened that I had to leave it for a month or so (But how can

anyone leave it uncompleted??). When i thought of completing it, i was too lazy to start all over again so, I just flipped

through the pages and tried to recap the story.

That was when i realized why this story had attracted me (nd i guess oder people) so much. it's said that the harry potter

appeales to the imaginitive kid within us. But i think it is the suffering man within us that is attracted with it.

Ridiculous that is sounds, it is surprising to see how much of our social and political set-up (World's a stage..) is

reflected in it. The attempts of the ministry to cover up the crime to prevent people from panicking, The dark forces that

discriminate people based on origin and kill them, the schooling system (Even harry hated to go to classes..) all connects

with us in a striking similarity. The most important feature is that it does not harm our perception of world in any way. It

just tells us that we are just one part of the living world ignorant of the wizards which have their own problems to deal

with. Hence, it makes it easy for our mind to concieve the picture of the new 'heterogenous' world without making any

deletions to the existing picture but just adding a few INDEPENDENT (yes, we don't know about their existance simply because

they r hiding from us) communities (Isn't this the same reason for the exitment about the illuminati and masons? ..). Doesn't

this seem different manifestations of Descartes' dream doubt??... (sounds a bit philosophical :) ).

On a more phychological (sry if spelling err!!) level, this appeales to the struggling modern man inside us. But the

question is, do SOLE heroic charcters like harry exist even now?? .. So, the exact parralism i am trying to explain seems to

fail . But in my defense, i feel that harry just refers to the reader (atleast i think so as i have a scar on my forehead and

we share the same b'day...). It gives the reader a new hope to fight the the war againt you-know-who (this really is 'you

know who' in our context!!).. I could exagerrate this by saying that the people who complete the book once they start it are

either voracois readers, or just weak hearted people (in which case i m none..)..

Hence what i feel is hp is just like riddle's diary that gives us what we want to read......

Arbitappa

So, here goes my first 'Arbitappa' observation..
Why should we not eat an 'apple' when we are ill??

Ans: Because 'An Apple a day keeps a doctor away.' and if we keep the doc away when we are ill, who would cure us???
