From what I understand, the advantage to quantum computing is parallelism not speed as you would normally associate with traditional computers. You write the data to the q-bit, you look away while it expands into every possible answer, then it passes through a filter that leaves only the...

I had assumed the CSI quest was there because of Fargo, a gamespy guy who was hired on by blizzard. He did a similar think in his machina comic, "Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth", execpt he called it PSI. Pween Scene Investigation
