This I believe is how certain aspects of the mind exists, information being temporarily stored and interactive with other systems. Theoretically then systems of the brain/mind should be able to be duplicated. This would allow for managing of large amounts of information, at very high speed, with no-heat generation. The only heat generated would be through the support systems / foundation - I suppose much like how the brain functions as a foundation for the mind.

A brain made out of a diamond? Indiana Jones anyone?



Not sure if you meant to imply the brain is an inherently quantum system or not, but if so:

It's actually theoretically impossible.


Interesting. I wasn't implying it's a quantum system, not through entanglement anyhow. I'm not sure it would need to be linked in such a way for it to play its role in overall functioning.


It reminds me of scifi movies where computers are made of crystals
