Quantum transistors in aircraft aileron control systems

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the potential applications of quantum entanglement, specifically involving transistors, in aircraft flight control systems. Participants explore the feasibility of using entangled transistors in microcontrollers for controlling aileron actuators, raising questions about the underlying physics and practical implementation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks assistance in writing an article about using quantum entanglement in aircraft control systems, specifically by entangling two transistors.
  • Another participant questions the feasibility of entangling transistors and suggests that understanding the physics behind this is necessary before discussing applications.
  • A participant expresses concern about the practical use of atomic entangled transistors in microcontrollers, emphasizing the need for clarity on their function.
  • There is a mention of a method for creating entangled pairs by bombarding a three-dimensional crystal with microwave and radio frequency pulses, but the relevance to transistors is unclear.
  • One participant warns against misinterpreting scientific papers, clarifying that the entanglement discussed in a referenced paper pertains to nuclei and electrons in doped semiconductors, not the transistors themselves.
  • The original poster expresses confusion about how to utilize atomic transistors in their proposed setup and seeks further guidance on their application in microcontrollers for flight control systems.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the feasibility of entangling transistors or their application in microcontrollers. There are competing views regarding the understanding and implications of quantum entanglement in this context.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the definitions and processes involved in entangling transistors, as well as the specific roles of atomic entangled transistors in microcontroller applications. Participants highlight the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying physics before proceeding with practical applications.

hello all, i need some help on this one. i want to do an article about the posible aplications of quantum entanglement in aircraft flight control systems. i want to entangle two transistors, put one of them at the ACE - actuator control electronics (probably) in the pilot's cabin and the other at the PIC microcontroler for the DC motor that powers the electric liniar actuator of the aileron. the problem is i don't know what to do with the atomic entangled transistors (where to put them, on what chip, where etc). please help

Er... back up a bit.

How does one entangle two transistors? Shouldn't you establish the physics of this first before writing about the application?

well, the real issue for me is using in a microcontroler those atomic entangled transistors, what is the function of the transistors. i could use a scheme for the microcontroler with the atomic transistors. as for the entanglement process i think this is enough for me for now as the above issue seems to be more problematic at the moment: "bombarding a three-dimensional crystal with microwave and radio frequency pulses to create the entangled pairs. " http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/25/science/25spin.html?_r=0

It is always dangerous to extrapolate what you read here without understanding what actually occurred.

Note that nothing in the paper talked about entangling the transistors! There is an entanglement of the nuclei of the doped semiconductor with the electrons, yes, but this is FAR from entangling the whole macroscopic transistor setup! That is why I asked you to back up a bit, because it appears that you've understood this incorrectly.

hey 10x for the help on this one. am really having a tough break this time. what u think of this article? http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2012/02/sa-transistor/ have no idea how i could use the atomic transistor. i want one on the microcontroller of the pilot's stick's dc motor and one on the microcontroller of the dc motor of the aileron's actuator. any help on this?
