Interesting so USB accidentally incorporates quantum tunneling, shame its not as fast as a USB upgrade, like 3.0 versus 2.0. The fact that it's accidental, and slower, means that it could just be a theory, and probably not a good way to understand it. Also you agreed with me on the multi thread thing. However Quantum computers using a multi position "gate/switch" don't exist, thats all I was trying to say. Another reply I recieved outlined a micrsoft language called Q, it is a service of Azure, and not an actual multi gate language. However, the probability of Azure creating a multi gate language is much higher than people doing it, but I don't think that's its purpose. More importantly, we need a stable processor, which nobody has, I mean how else are you gonna test it. As soon as you hear -273 degrees to gain function, you should grasp.... it's not gonna work. Again thanks for the reply.

That's flash storage that uses tunnelling, not USB. USB is just regular electric signals traveling along a conductor serially (as in one bit at a time and opposed to parallel, which would have multiple bits at a time).

Flash USB sticks are common, but you can have flash without USB and USB without flash. Flash is how it saves the data, USB is how the data is transferred between the storage and device using it.

Yeah, I understood what you were saying. USB, is an interface, the rate at which data is transmitted is not effected by Quantum tunneling was my point. Last I checked nobody is building flash memory with special spacing or design to increase read and writes using this theory. Also, if it was used as a storage technique, you'd think it would have a different name, or a performance increase. Simply put, I'm not aware of this theory being used in any practical application... or any Quantum theory for that matter.
