light interferometry tricks a NP-complete problem into a P problem!

I just read a very interesting paper on using light interferometry to generally solve the Traveling Salesman Problem in polynomial time.

A very beautiful idea to simply emit photons and increase their lifespan until they are detected arriving at the total length of the circuit. Very creative...Although they are not the first group I hear, who points out the validity of using light interferometry to implement quantum computation, I do think they are the first to actually do an experiment and solve a known problem with the idea.

I can't even begin to describe what this guy has done! ...

I can't wait to see the next 10 years... who can remember their lives when they were 8 (more specifically 1990, :D when I was 8)... Seriously think about it? my life was very far from digital...

This is a great Idea... and he hit the nail on the head when he talked about training. Useful inteligence test information.

... That would be really cool, if we could figure out how to do it for everything...

I have the same hope the Numenta people have....

Difference # 2: The brain uses content-addressable memory

In computers, information in memory is accessed by polling its precise memory address. This is known as byte-addressable memory. In contrast, the brain uses content-addressable memory, such that information can be accessed in memory through "spreading activation" from closely related concepts. For example, thinking of the word "fox" may automatically spread activation to memories related to other clever animals, fox-hunting horseback riders, or attractive members of the opposite sex.
