AI Thread Summary
Creating a quantum CPU is theoretically possible, as quantum computers utilize quantum bits (qubits) instead of traditional bits. Current research indicates that quantum computing technology is still in its early stages, with various experiments underway. The distinction between a quantum computer and a classical CPU lies in the principles of quantum mechanics that enable faster processing capabilities. Understanding quantum computing requires grasping complex concepts like superposition and entanglement. Continued advancements in this field may eventually lead to practical quantum CPUs.

I just want to know. Is it possible to make a CPU in quantum? Or did I misunderstand the meaning of quantum computer?

It looks like it's still very much in its infancy, but some experiments have been conducted:

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
