Quantum Computation in a Human Environment

Fernando F. Morador, Luis de Marcos Ortega & Carmen F. Bjurström

This article investigates the concepts of embodiment, artificial technology, and temporality in computation to elucidate the principles and implications of quantum computers. By analyzing the abstraction of subatomic particles and the principles of superposition and entanglement, this study clarifies the challenges and opportunities inherent in quantum computation. The relationship between embodiment and quantum computation is examined, with particular attention to the difficulties of translating unembodied phenomena into practical contexts. The article also considers the role of time in computation, using historical analysis of the evolution of temporal concepts during the early development of quantum theory to assess the implications of quantum computation for our understanding of time and reality. Ultimately, this article aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of quantum computers and their potential to transform fields such as information technology security, simulation, and memory storage.
