Comment on D-Wave: Is $15m machine a glimpse of future computing?parent

Comments

What I was suggesting is that this would empirically favor quantum decoherence over waveform collapse.

The ability to subsequently control quantum decoherence allows for its patterns to be recorded and reproduced; i.e. an ability which would allow humans to eventually recreate entire quantum sections and perhaps eventually allow them to alter both the past, present and future states in-between the margins of quantum decoherence.

I'm not suggesting non-locality; I'm suggesting non-realism from a universal standpoint and thus the ability to control 'reality' lies in the ability of human beings to control quantum decoherence and quantum mechanics.

The ability to recreate a version of the past via quantum mechanics is, in effect, time travel.

We aren't too far away from full control of decoherence:
