[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dark Elation After rereading my op I can understand the confusion but I know a theoretical physicist is real. Why does Bungie have one? I guess it could be for engineering purposes but that seems strange. As far as quantam computing goes unless I would be very impressed if Bungie had access to this kind of tech for the simple purpose of data mining.[/quote] Quantum computing isn't that far off. I suppose that's maybe just my opinion. But, I attended a seminar a few weeks back about this. Researchers are up to about 12 or so gates I believe, with the idea that around 80-90 are needed for this to be feasible. Also, companies are usually the ones who fund the research. Imaging, for example, is very well developed partially because of video games.
