True i forgot about fantastic quantum-computer, which so far solved only very specific and tiny problems or quantum mechanics.
In the spirit of this, lets bring the quantum computer built at U of Illinois that computers its answer without actually running.. "By placing our photon in a quantum superposition of running and not running the search algorithm, we obtained information about the answer even when the photon did not run the search algorithm," said graduate student Onur Hosten, lead author of the Nature paper. "We also showed theoretically how to obtain the answer without ever running the algorithm, by using a 'chained Zeno' effect." http://www.news.uiuc.edu/news/06/0222quantum.html That should take care of any objection like the universe would end before the computer finished searching the entire game-tree. ;) Lars Nilsson _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
