The universe as quantum computer

QUICK DIGRESSION: I am preparing a dish to be served soon. It is all about branding Nigeria as an IT hub in view of transforming the nation's internet economy and Africa's by extension. This is to be done -as a starting phase- through disseminating first hand information about technology for researchers, practitioners, users and enthusiasts.

This is about Quantum Physics


 For the interest of Physicists in the house:

This article reviews the history of digital computation, and investigates just how far the concept of computation can be taken. In particular, I address the question of whether the universe itself is in fact a giant computer, and if so, just what kind of computer it is. I will show that the universe can be regarded as a giant quantum computer. The quantum computational model of the universe explains a variety of observed phenomena not encompassed by the ordinary laws of physics. In particular, the model shows that the the quantum computational universe automatically gives rise to a mix of randomness and order, and to both simple and complex systems.
