Can someone explain this to me?

I know there are some physicists and other science types hanging around, this looks very cool, but it's way beyond my normal abilities to get the basics of science.
Quantum computer solves problem, without running

“In a sense, it is the possibility that the algorithm could run which prevents the algorithm from running,” Kwiat said. “That is at the heart of quantum interrogation schemes, and to my mind, quantum mechanics doesn’t get any more mysterious than this.”

Oh yeah; the performancing plug in for Firefox is great, as is the Livejournal Hook extension; both are on addons.mozilla.org

I think that now makes sense to me.

I was going to study physics, but the school was crap, I dumped the subject when we realised the teacher (for A level) had to check the text book several points during a lesson. It was either switch school or subject; school was 5 minutes walk, so I took history instead.
