Heartbeat of Nanoparticles Made Visible
ScienceDaily (June 2, 2011) — Even tiny gold nanoparticles, with a diameter of only 40 millionths of a millimeter, have something like a heartbeat. When focusing a short laser pulse on the particles they heat up very briefly and start to vibrate. But even the best microscopes can not resolve these nanoparticles, which are therefore very difficult to study.
The Janus Supercomputer uses Gold and other Noble metal nanoparticles tracked by a laser array as part of its quantum processing.
Structure and Operation of the Quantum Supercomputer
The core of the processing within the Janus Supercomputer is based upon Shors algorithm using photonic quantum gates.
Janus is the first and only quantum supercomputer to be 80% liquid: a liquid that actually generates and recycles up to thirty five percent of its own energy whilst in operation. There is no memory, CPU or hard drive. The liquid quantum supercomputer contains a suspension of Rare-earth – d-transition-metal compounds, particles of diamond, gold, silicon and tetragonal compounds. These are used to trigger quantum calculations.
