Defense Intelligence Reference Document Quantum Computing And Utilizing Organic Molecules In Automation Technology

This Defense Intelligence Reference Document from the Defense Intelligence Agency, dated 10 December 2010, is one of a series of advanced technology reports produced in FY 2010 under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews quantum computing technologies and DNA-based molecular computing for onboard supercomputing on future spacecraft. It forecasts ion-trap quantum computers within 10 years, simple DNA tile computing within 20 years, and self-repairing DNA computers on a 40-year horizon.

combined in parallel into similar constructs, with the expectation of similar behavior. That
means, in principle, we can construct enzymatic networks that perform Boolean calculations
of any complexity. At this moment, serial connections are prohibitively slow to be used in
practical devices, thus reported circuits are limited to implicit OR connectivity between
individual elements.
