I Am Fascinated By Technology

I think I read somewhere that Alchemy was taking the known and adding the improbable.

With this in mind I also have seen where they now have a CPU processor that they call the Quantum chip. It's speed is amazing. [quote](NASA), officially claimed that its Sycamore quantum processor completed in 200 seconds a task the equivalent of which would take a state-of-the-art supercomputer approximately 10,000 years to complete.[/quote]

From what I understand they have taken the normal binary code which consists of 0 and 1 and added a third variable of 01 together. This is something I have toyed with the idea of for a while but could never figure out what the third variable would do.

Now this is how I imagine binary code works.
When a printer is getting information from the computer it asks a series of questions about the picture.
The printer asks " Am I printing "? The computer responds with a 0 or a 1. 0 being yes you are printing or 1 no you are not printing.
Then if the printer is told to print the printer asks the computer " Am I printing black "? The computer either says 0 or 1. Then, if yes, then the printer will ask the computer " am I printing yellow "? and so on and so forth.
Depending on the computer it would or will ask these questions 8 times per pixel or 64 times per pixel and so on up until it reaches the resolution of the picture and/or the ability of the computer and printer.

Now lets add Alchemy, as I understand it, into the picture. What if you had a chip that not only had the three binary codes but a fourth that worked as a random number generator. A digital thinking outside of the conventional box type chip.
Would it just produce junk data or would it maybe generate previously un-thought of possibilities?

[quote]Anyone trying to make creative discoveries needs to think outside the box, and often that means being wrong.[/quote]

So what if the chip could be wrong the majority of the time but fast enough to correct it's mass mis-calculations? Would such a chip make Artificial intelligence imaginative? Would it be able to add the improbable into it's calculations?

Just something I have wondered about for a while now.

This story isn't intended to be factually accurate and I am in no way attempting to sound like an authority on the subject.
Just my imagination asking me questions that cause me to wonder " What if... "?

I'm usually more comfortable with Intel processors like i5 and i7. I used to have a

@Stereoguy Thank you. That new chip really got me thinking about this. LOL
