U.S. scientists closer to making new type of supercomputer
By Reuters Special to CNET News.com March 15, 2000, 1:55 p.m. PT
LONDON--U.S. scientists moved a step closer to developing a super-computer
after looking at a branch of physics that researches the physics of particles
invisible to the human eye.
"In the language of quantum information science, we have realized a
four-quantum-bit logic gate. This system is relevant for the future development
of quantum information technology," the scientists said in the journal
Nature.
Conventional computers are based on binary "switches," or bits, which
can either be switched on or off. Computers carry out calculations utilizing
these switches.
Quantum theory holds that entities such as atoms do not decide whether
they exist in an on or off state until they are measured or interact with
something.
When they are not interacting, the atoms exist in both states at once--a
quantum superposition--said Christopher Monroe, a researcher at the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Computers based on quantum physics would therefore be able to have switches
or "qbits" that exist in both on and off states simultaneously.
A string of these quantum bits would consequently offer every possible
on-off combination and could carry out every calculation a computer needed
simultaneously, hugely increasing the computer's power and memory.
Fiber Optics to the Home
Fiber optics has helped push the telecommunications system into
hyperdrive. But only when fiber connections reach all the way into the
home will the technology’s promise be fully realized.
In 1947 it was the transistor. Today it is photonics. Called the second
silicon revolution, optical fiber systems are in an explosive state of
development, reminiscent of the earlier days of the electronics industry.
Over the past two decades, since fiber-optic communications first began
to appear, the carrying capacity of fiber has increased at a faster rate
than Moore's law. Now the wavelength-division multiplexing revolution has
accelerated that capacity even more, while introducing the flexibility
of wavelength-based routing. Forged from an interdisciplinary mix of semiconductor
diode lasers, micromachine technology and fundamental advances in optical
glass technology, terahertz networking has arrived well ahead of schedule.
It's a major revolution riding on a broad-based industry serving the
fundamental human need to communicate.
"A length of fiber long enough to circle the globe three times is produced
every day, and if you extrapolate current trends to 2010, every one of
the 6 billion people on earth will have a bandwidth capability equivalent
to high-definition television," said Alistair Glass, director of photonics
research and development at Lucent Technologies Bell Laboratories. Arriving
at Bell Labs in 1967, Glass' career spans the development and implementation
of fiber-optic communications systems.
Major breakthrough
"When I arrived, the major breakthrough was the first continuously operating
laser, and it didn't run for very long-only a few minutes," Glass recalled.
"This was the time of the early hero experiments and the demands kept
increasing and increasing on these devices.
There was always that pressure,
but the interest in the marketplace represented a dramatic change."
There was always a strong demand to increase the performance of any
device.
At first the research arm of AT&T, Bell Labs enjoyed a special status
after its founding in the 1920s. Because of the monopoly granted AT&T
by the government, in the interests of standardizing the telephone system,
the lab could both be part of a commercial operation and play the open
role of a national laboratory.
"At that time, there was not much connectivity with business- it was
very much intellectually driven. We wanted to be leaders in all the fields
relevant to communications," Glass said. But in the early 1980s two developments
dramatically accelerated photonics research: commercial long-haul fiber-optic
systems began to be installed commercially, and AT&T's monopoly was
dissolved by the government, with parts of Bell Labs spun off into other
companies as part of a complex divestiture of the telecommunications giant.
"We were suddenly handed the mandate to develop commercial products out
of our research efforts," he said.
The lab responded with a broad attack on optical communications systems.
Innovations in the basic fiber, laser diodes to power them, and integrated
optoelectronic components to interface with electronic data systems followed.
"Since then, particularly with the founding of Lucent Technologies, optics
has been accelerating at an incredible rate," Glass said.
For transporting data over long distances, fiber systems proved to be
irresistible. Large bundles of copper wire could be replaced by slender
silicon fibers in a process of "demassification" usually associated with
the electronics industry. While the debate continues over whether optical
interconnect is a viable alternative to electrical wiring inside of computers,
the issue has been definitively resolved for long-distance communications.
But optical interconnect inside the box may eventually succumb to a long-term
trend. Recent developments in metropolitan-area networks suggest that fiber
optics is riding a scaling law similar to the shrinking VLSI circuit, and
the scaling rate appears to be steeper.
The rapid deployment of fiber optics received an even bigger jolt with
a repeat of the '80s scenario in the 1990s. Bell Labs was again transferred
in 1996 to another entity-Lucent Technologies-and made the centerpiece
of a startup with considerable economic resources. Also brewing in photonics
labs was a revolutionary technology called dense wavelength-division multiplexing
(DWDM), which has allowed the carrying capacity of optical fiber to ramp
up at an astonishing rate. "In the mid-90s it became a fever. We went from
eight to 16 to 32 wavelengths on a single fiber and our latest products
use 400. Now we have just demonstrated 1,000 wavelengths," Glass noted.
Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a technology
that puts data from different sources together on an optical fiber, with
each signal carried on its own separate light wavelength. Using DWDM, up
to 80 (and theoretically more) separate wavelengths or channels of data
can be multiplexed into a lightstream transmitted on a single optical fiber.
In a system with each channel carrying 2.5 Gbps (billion bits per second),
up to 200 billion bits can be delivered a second by the optical fiber.
DWDM is also sometimes called wave division multiplexing (WDM).
Since each channel is demultiplexed at the end of the transmission
back into the original source, different data formats being transmitted
at different data rates can be transmitted together. Specifically, Internet
(IP) data, SONET data, and ATM data can all be travelling at the same time
within the optical fiber.
DWDM promises to solve the "fiber exhaust" problem and is expected
to be the central technology in the all-optical networks of the future.
DWDM replaces time-division multiplexing (TDM) as the most effective optical
transmission method. Although TDM is the primary approach in today's networks,
DWDM systems are expected to be tested and deployed in late 1998 and 1999.
Web ProForum hosts a tutorial on DWDM from Lucent Technologies. Lucent
Technologies offers its WaveStar OLS 400G, a system that provides up to
400 Gbps over a single fiber and, in its maximum eight-fiber configuration,
can transmit 3.2 trillion bits per second.
DWDM uses individual segments of the optical spectrum to multiplex signals
on a fiber.
The idea is recent, considered at first to be a laboratory
curiosity since practical systems were already multiplexing channels with
a time-division technique. Such synchronous optical networks (Sonet) had
been able to extend the capacity of optical fiber and were a welcome development.
The wavelength-division multiplexing route has turned out to have far more
potential: Bell Labs researchers recently demonstrated a DWDM transmission
system capable of sending a terabit of data per second down a fiber. "That
represents the entire world's Internet on a single glass fiber," Glass
said.
The DWDM revolution has been extremely swift. When Lucent Technologies
was established, DWDM was still at the laboratory demonstration stage.
While the idea is simple, turning it into practical optical communications
systems required a multifaceted development. Multiple-wavelength laser-diode
systems and new types of fiber able to carry the multiple wavelength signals
without crosstalk had to be developed. And some means of collectively amplifying
multiwavelength signals had to be invented. While those problems were effectively
solved in a short time, it wasn't easy. Indeed, one outstanding problem
has never been solved: how to regenerate multiple wavelength signals.
Large areas
One consequence of that missing solution is the fact that DWDM can only
be implemented on campus-wide or metropolitan areas. By doping fiber with
the rare-earth element erbium, it is possible to build a simple light amplifier
that is essentially a laser. When a multiple wavelength signal is passed
through an erbium fiber loop and optically pumped, it emerges unchanged
except that it is at a higher energy level. One nice aspect of this operation
is that the actual content of the wavelength channels is irrelevant to
the amplification process. Unfortunately, to recondition optical signals,
it becomes necessary to decode their content and relaunch them. Thus signal
regeneration, which is essential in long-haul networks, is still unavailable
to DWDM.
Balancing this deficiency in very long transmissions is a new wave of
all-optical switching elements that are able to add or remove a wavelength
channel from a fiber.
These add-drop multiplexers offer a high-speed switching
function that could not be duplicated with electronics, and have made metropolitan-area
networks into a unique flexible, high-throughput communications medium.
This essentially new form of photonics technology is spawning an industry
in optical switching components. "Now people can invent a novel device
that relates to communications and it will find its way into products extremely
rapidly-less than a year," said Glass. "We are now in a situation of 'invent
on demand' where as soon as a problem is perceived, someone immediately
comes up with a solution."
Finisar Launches Optical Edge Switch For Metropolitan
Markets Finisar, a developer of gigabit rate optical link extenders,
components and network analyzers, is also developing a DWDM-based aggregation
system for extending Fibre Channel SANs and GigabitEthernet LANs across
metropolitan fiber networks. http://www.finisar.com/
Finisar's fiber optic systems include GBIC transceivers,optical multiplexers
and link extenders, protocol analyzers and data generators for Gigabit
Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks.http://www.finisar.com/products/prodframe.htm
This explosive growth poses a formidable challenge to electronics technology.
"If you compare the speed of silicon chips versus the capacity of optical
fiber communications, fiber optics is going significantly faster than electronics,
and where the fiber ends-that becomes a significant bottleneck." Glass
is convinced that fiber to the home office and then fiber to the home are
just around the corner. "We have a demonstration project going with Bell
South where we have wired up a suburban neighborhood with little fiber-optic
network units on the side of each house," he said.
Dealing with the high volumes of data that are coming off optical fibers
will present a big challenge to electronics. Fortunately, wavelength-division
multiplexing eases that task since each wavelength can be processed simultaneously
by different circuits. Ultimately, electronics and optics technologies
offer complementary abilities: "Optics is ideal for transporting data from
point A to point B, but it is weak in the area of logic and switching,"
Glass pointed out. "That is where we will need electronics."

The world economic summit is less interesting because the big and powerful
are less interesting.
The rate of technological has multiplied on itself because computers
can work faster and communications are better therefore computers and communications
becomes faster and faster. My guess is that optic fiber to the door will
make on-air or cable broadcasting uneconomic - video on demand will replace
it - the program producers will distribute directly to the consumer - like
in MP3 - the video store goes on line -
The move producer - such as Blair
Witch could be sold directly - same with any show or news or whatever -
so there goes networks - maybe even magazine writers with direct sales

If I were a high technology company - in information systems, computers,
communications or any part of the 25 % of the economy - and almost all
the growth sector - now including networks - broadcasting - publishing
- entertainment - music - video - electronics - service - I would have
a venture capital connection so I could send people out and find out what
is going on.
The battle for the airwaves is not just about broadband but
the content - software and services. If you put a few hundred thousand
in interesting technologies you gain access to information.
There is almost
a certainty that something will come from left field and change all the
rules again.
Cable is too slow and greedy.
The telephone companies too slow and bureaucratic.
Both have shown a preference for short term gains rather than long term
survival. Microsoft is showing the same brain arthritis - inflexible -
such as IBM was - GM and other big and rich - missed every important technology
- but could buy it after it had been proven. That may or may not be possible.

The most common wireless transmission standard, GSM, which stands for
Global Systems for Mobile communications, is particularly prevalent in
Europe and Asia. According to market research firm Dataquest, nearly 157
million GSM-based mobile phones will be shipped worldwide this year, compared
with shipments of about 43 million CDMA cell phones.
But many industry observers say CDMA, strongest in North America, is
more efficient and can handle Internet-based transmissions better.
There is also time division and dense systems - I do believe the key
is China - the PLA and post telegraph - along with the EU will set the
standards.
"...taking advantage of the deregulated telecom industry, the small,
tightly knit consortium will initially offer digital voice, TV, and Web
hosting over fiber, under the name SpectraDyne Services. It includes Sierra
Pacific Power Company, Hewlett-Packard, Oracle, and TelecommUnity Systems."
The following image need to be firmly in mind to understand the AOL/
Time Warner deal - and the frenzy going on in telecommunications and computer
industries.
The time frame is about 10 years - the impact comes first in
Northern Europe - Singapore - parts of the states - parts of Hong Kong
and China - Japan - Taiwan - South East Asia - Australia ( already with
system under construction )
There is optic to the door provided by the utility company. It is a
common carrier providing:
TV programs on demand on a big flat screen digital high definition
system - programs are recorded and played as you desire, when you desire
on any of the screens around the wired house you desire.
There is no need
for program schedules - movies and other video content are downloaded on
demand from world wide services. Some charge fees some are free with or
without ads. You can watch the BBC news or CNN or C-span type programs
any time.
There is no need for movie or music channels since you can order
anything you want anytime.
The same with music, either rented for a limited number of replays,
or purchased and transferred to CD or DVD -
The same with interactive media
- games and educational services for the wired " smart" house - When you
leave the security system goes on - with complete radar monitoring of any
motion with recording of motion, the heat or AC is turned down, when you
click from your cell phone that you are returning home - the lights and
heat or AC is reset, the music turned on and the doors unsecured.
The cell phone - palm pilot - personal digital assistant works at 400
kbps to 4 Mbs with GPS, e-mail and other web content, fold up or screen
keyboards, long life batteries, high gain reception of dense multiplex
time division wideband GS3 codes. Europe, with its common GSM standard,
will likely usher in "3G" technologies (with their 2 megabit/second data
to pockets) years before it happens in the U.S.' fragmented cellular environment.
And fast wireless data will surely usher in many new Opportunities. - http://www.pathfinder.com/fortune/technology/2000/01/24/ega.html).
The home terminal - NEXUM - provides wireless ( bluetooth ) connection
to the mobile elements, TV, music, games, information systems with voice
commands. You say " Write a note" and dictate as it appears on the big
screen. You correct with the portable keyboard that is used for interactive
TV.
The master computer works within a network "master server in the sky"
to provide services you need or enjoy. Shopping, banking, tele-communities,
video conferences, design and research, games and social activities, travel
and adventure, and tuned to your interests and desires.
The master server
bills for usage in micro pennies for "extras" but charges a flat fee for
"basic services". Several master server companies compete for services
on the common carrier -
The services are not tied to the wire - optic cable - so there are two
bills - one for connection services - the wireless and wired ( optic )
and another from the service company that passes along charges for rentals,
fee for service charges, software licenses, communications on and off net,
as we do today with local and long distance phone services and premium
cable services.
Where is the money made ? Optic fiber hardware - mobile hardware, utility
company right-of-way and network services, the "general utility service
company" maybe AOL, Microsoft, NOISE group ( Netscape, Oracle, IBM, Sun
Microsystems and everyone else ) Amazon, or others which provides the interface
between the user and service providers - banks, insurance, finance and
markets, shopping, software and music and games and movies and communications,
and entertainment, security, smart home management, and on and on...
The
super on-line service using optic fiber to the door.
All Boiled down on CONVERGENCE AOL: the super market of the world
What does AOL Time Warner ( and Wal-Mart, & some Computer terminal
company and cable modem or broadband connection ) mean for the future of
global society ? What is the image they pursue ? http://www.wiredbrain.com/image.htm
CONVERGENCE: Interactive television, combining audio telephone, video
conference and cable or satellite TV, video on demand, all designed to
advertise and sell on the spot all kinds of good and services.
What is called "entertainment" on television is different from plays,
or movies or theme parks or games or sports because the role of "content"
is only to attract an audience so they can be sold something.
The job of
television is sales - not news or information or entertainment which are
only provided so people watch and can be sold something.
The role of AOL
/ Time Warner will be not only to sell others goods but direct sales.
Their
dream is the click and buy advantages of two way communications.
In the process cable or other broadband can replace a good share of
long distance voice, video rentals, VPN virtual private networks, if and
only if, the broadband connections really works then personal computers
become network devices or http://www.wiredbrain.com/NEXUM.htm
a multipurpose communications and entertainment console.
AOL Time Warner believe that whatever the method for the broadband connections
they will control the content.
The contact rates - for cable, telephone,
Internet and video on demand provide cash flows that support the capital
for improved networks and on-line sales provide the profits.
It's not only that you can buy your tooth paste from the commercial
( click here to add it to your Wal-mart order ) but you might get free
samples for filling out forms. You can add with a click to your grocery
list. People really will buy travel deals, change banks or brokers, buy
records after getting MP3 samples, select household gadgets, buy gifts,
use auctions, even pick appliances and cars.
They will seek better mortgage
and insurance rates, look for a new house, and a thousand other products
and services.
disintermedation means becoming the middle person between the buyer
and seller. On-line systems such as Amazon.com means direct sales take
on a whole new meaning. I would look for a Amazon Wal-mart connection if
not merger.
Broadband frequencies allow high-capacity data transmission.
Broadband Race Is on the Rise in Hong Kong
Last week, the Hong Kong government took another step to open further
the telecom market to competition by issuing a total of 17 fixed network
licenses (5 licenses for wireless local fixed telecommunications network
services (FTNS), and another 12 licenses for external FTNS using satellites).
The licenses will last for 15 years, with an option to extend for another
15 years. In addition, the government has agreed to issue an FTNS license
to Hong Kong Cable TV to provide telecom services over its hybrid fiber-coaxial
cable networks.
The battle of the air waves is just not between cable modems ( which
don't work very well ) and DSL which has many problems and is priced too
high. Optic fiber to the door and new wideband line of sight or some technology
using power lines may jump ahead. It's a tough call to invest billions
per day.
The dense urban markets, the rural markets, the issues in China
and other world markets, all may not have the same solution. Satellite
systems
have a role, but it seems the analysis is too tightly drawn in the box
- there are sure to be out of the box answers.
``Wireless Internet devices will not only capture some existing PC applications
but introduce brand new applications that the desk-top PC has no way to
handle today,'' Engibous told a Tokyo seminar on the company's strategy.
``I think the availability of a wireless device that is online all the
time with broadband data capability...offers the possibility of applications
that Silicon Valley'' is just beginning to dream about, he added.
With next-generation mobile phone services, users will be able to surf
the Web, check and respond to e-mail, conduct videoconferences and use
new mobile services such as e-commerce, he said.
Next-generation mobile phone services will be offered in Japan beginning
in the spring of 2001, and later in other parts of the world.
According to the study, cable modems will win the lion's share of the
residential broadband market, outnumbering DSL modems 5:1 in North American
and 2.6:1 worldwide by the year 2003.
The five-year growth rate for cable
modems is forecast to be 93% in North America and 114% in other regions.
The Study concludes that the rollout plans announced by the telcos are
unrealistically
optimistic, that the services are too high-priced for the mainstream
residential market, and face many technical and regulatory hurdles--oft
overlooked in the excitement of bringing in a new age of high speed IP-based
telecommunications. Forward Concepts also believes that splitterless DSL
still has many technical unknowns, and that its suitability as a "universal"
service is still open to question.
DSL services also jeopardize existing, highly profitable, data communications
services, further reducing motivation for rollout by the telcos.
The cable
companies, in contrast, see IP-video, IP telephony, Internet access, and
remote LAN access as pure incremental upside revenue opportunities, unencumbered
by existing services.
Advanced technology will affect the way we work, learn, play, trade
and shop, and form communities. I would like to work with organizations
that want to get ahead of the curve in both the learning and technology
game.
I have been following technology for many years and really have a good
feel and record in forecasting and analysis. I would like to work with
other on the NEXUM project and study the effects of http://www.wiredbrain.com/nano.htm
and a few other pages
I could do remote education and training - project projections - systems
analysis or just communicate with a group, motivational manager, thinking
out of the box, win-win, future, and other ideas.
AOL can do what Sears did.
The Sears brands were produced by OEM ( original
equipment manufactures ) with Sears keeping a very tight control of quality
and margins. Many of their providers became dependents. B2B means the intermediary
can arrange shipments from the provider to the buyer and become the super
market of the world.
Max PLANCK and Heisenberg, and Erwin SCHRÖDINGER's wave mechanics,
and Born, are the people of the 20th century who will most influence the
21 st. We will see the application of quantum computer fairly soon. It
could ( so will ) have some level of self awareness we call consciousness

Being in two places at the same time - or going from here to there without
passing through the space between.
The nature of matter at this level is
little energy spots rather than matter as we experience it, energy that
change quantum states - transform from one state to another instantly.
The history of computer technology has involved a sequence of changes
from one type of physical realization to another --- from gears to relays
to valves to transistors to integrated circuits and so on ...
On the atomic scale matter obeys the rules of quantum mechanics, which
are quite different from the classical rules that determine the properties
of conventional logic gates. So if computers are to become smaller in the
future, new, quantum technology must replace or supplement what we have
now.
The point is, however, that quantum technology can offer much more
than cramming more and more bits to silicon and multiplying the clock-speed
of microprocessors. It can support entirely new kind of computation with
qualitatively new algorithms based on quantum principles!
