Reply to comment by AikidokaUK in Scientists Have Found a Way To Manipulate Digital Data Stored in DNA by Sorin61

Soooo… the difference between binary, normal computers and quantum computers, right? But maybe one level above because instead of 1 and 0 in both their possible stages ( so four total) it’s 1, 2, 3, and 4, in all their possible combining states

Yarp. Though afaik, it can only be used for storage, not processing, unlike QC

Well, obviously it processes. Otherwise we wouldn’t exist. We might just not have figured out an artificial process for such expressions

When I say processing, I mean the calculations that current silicone chips carry out that ultimately manipulates something electronically, not biologically processing DNA information.

We don't have any sort of interface for that........ Yet
