Bleeding Edge, tangentially?

[Prashant Kumar]

Link? Can give a more comprehensive discussion of the claim on request, but
the "quantum speed up" you get is thought to result from a few things,
chief among which is quantum entanglement.

Analog computers (think the old room filling beasties used in the Manhattan
project), for example, are not binary, yet are not able to achieve the same
speed up over binary computers. So the switch from binary to not isn't the
thing doing the work.
