Qualcomm, Quantum computing and CDMA will go well together. One problem will be that super-encryption will be like reading an open book with quantum computing doing the decoding, so secrecy will vanish. CDMA is similar to quantum computing in a way. CDMA dumps all the signals into the same spectrum but codes it so that it can be sorted out at the other end. Quantum computing creates all states possible and the process of observation determines the outcome. Quantum computing is to supercomputing as supercomputing is to using an abacus. So it is absurdly powerful. It's a bit like solid state memory or DNA molecule memory would make existing computer memory capacity absurdly tiny. The memory in molecular memory of pin head size would provide memory similar to having a beach full of sand if today's computer memory is similar to a grain of sand. So, quantum computing with molecular memory will make unimaginably powerful computing in an absurdly small computer. I don't understand this stuff, but the technology trends are heading in that direction and doing it quickly, with many improvements going to come along the way before reaching that state. These changes all benefit CDMA compared with other technology. Of course OFDM and VDMA will benefit too, but OFDM and VDMA are just variations on CDMA so Qualcomm should remain at the head of the pack. These technology trends are going to make all other changes since the invention of the first rudimentary cerebral cortex a million years ago look trivial. It is no less than the beginning of the end of humans as the dominant species. "It" is coming. And I am going. To make a nice cup of Japanese Green Tea! Mqurice PS: Qualcomm and Quantum even sound similar. Q.com showed remarkable forethought by Irwin's crowd and Qualcomm Qomputing [Quantum Computing by Qualcomm] shows even greater prescience. Go Brain Go!
