"Afraid I don't follow. I've always considered the channeling of electricity through a large number of microcircuits, where "on" equals 1 and "off" equals 2, to be plain old physics, not quantum physics. Same with the concentration of a narrow spectrum of light across a beam, in terms of the barcode scanner. Nothing really quantum about the base technology.

I know work continues in the so-called "quantum computer" space, but my understanding is that it's really just the addition of more states than simply "on" and "off", amounting to "on and on", "on and off", "off and off", "off and on," and so forth up the multidimensional tree. There's also a theory that the human brain is actually an electrochemical "quantum" computer which processes data across multiple dimensions, else the candlepower of it can't be fully explained."

Basically, modern computers work by manipulating the quantum state of matter between two states, zero and one. The work being done now involves trying to build a "quantum computer," one that utilizes all 32 known states, vastly increasing processing power. The basic idea I was getting at is that computing technology as it exists today proves the theory of quantum physics.

Unless you can come up with a reason why two particles a million miles apart can somehow interact with each other--the basic problem that led to quantum physics' invention--I'm going to have to lean towards the multiverse theory.

I've never really been convinced of the "Many Worlds" premise from Bell's Theorem - quite the opposite, actually. Although this looks like an interesting take on it: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/0003/0003146.pdf

I do admit a ready tendency to lean towards the theological in favor of the theoretical.
