Magnetic Flux Lines

The first questions is, are Magnetic Flux Lines able to carry enough current to operate a logic gate?

The reason I ask this questions is, if Magnetic Flux Lines are able to carry enough current to operate a computer logic gate, then a whole new type of CPU can be developed. The basis of the Quantum Processor is rather simple. The processor shell is comprised of neodymium magnets. The logic gates are made of superconducting material that would allow the logic gate to be suspended between the top and bottom of the CPU shell. Based on Quantum Trapping, the logic gates could overlap each other, the current then being passed along the magnetic flux lines would interact with the logic gate to create a function. But because the magnetic flux lines are not blocked, proven by passing a magnet under another magnet on a Quantum Levitating track, would the same current of electricity traveling with the magnetic flux lines be able to operate a stack a 50 logic gates, all designed to perform a single and different operation?

Probably, but if work is being done is there a loss of voltage?

P.S The battery runs on lithium, it's like saying petrol runs on oxygen.
 
Magnetic flux lines do not carry current. Such field lines are a graphical visual aid for visualizing vector fields. However, magnetic flux tubes that contain an ionised gas can carry current - for example, the flux tube between Io and Jupiter sustains a current of 5 million amperes.

As used in astrophysics, a flux tube generally means an area of space through which a strong magnetic field passes, in which the behaviour of matter (usually ionized gas or plasma) is strongly influenced by the field. They are commonly found around stars, including the Sun, which has many flux tubes from tens to hundreds of kilometres in diameter. Sunspots are also associated with larger flux tubes of 2500 km diameter. Some planets also have flux tubes. A well-known example is the flux tube between Jupiter and its moon Io.

If you're going to create a computing device using plasma to carry current, good luck with that. Better get your vacuum pump ready. I guess it's possible to operate some sort of switching logic with plasma as the conductive medium; I just don't know why anyone would bother when copper is available. Miniaturising it would be problematic - dealing with collision lengths, Larmor gyroradii and energy loss through magnetobremsstrahlung (synchrotron radiation) would be some issues that spring to mind.

The most significant difference between the magnetic field and the magnetic flux is that the magnetic field is the region around the magnet where the moving charge experiences a force, whereas the magnetic flux shows the quantity or strength of magnetic lines produced by the magnet.

What you can conclude from all these observations is that a changing magnetic field will produce a voltage in a coil, causing a current to flow. To be completely accurate, if the magnetic flux through a coil is changed, a voltage will be produced. This voltage is known as the induced emf.

Therefore, when a coil is built into a logic gate and the magnetic flux through the coil is changed, voltage will be produced. Voltage that would regulate the opening and closing of Input and Output gates of the logic gate.

Well, yes, you can use solenoids or Hall-effect switches to switch current but there are much more convenient ways nowadays.

The device known as a Josephson junction consists of two or more superconductors coupled by a thin insulating barrier. It relies on the Josephson effect - a supercurrent phenomenon where a current flows continuously across the barrier without needing an applied voltage due to the quantum tunnelling of Cooper pairs of electrons. A superconducting loop with two Josephson junctions in either arm is very sensitive to the magnetic flux enclosed. This effect is used in a SQUID, superconducting quantum interference device. In principle, Josephson junctions are good candidates for the construction of qubits for a quantum computer as the low dissipation of superconductors permits long coherence times and integrated-circuit fabrication techniques can be used to make complex superconducting circuits that scale to large number of qubits.

If im reading this correctly, the logic gate could be built as a Josephson Junction. The outside of the logic gate would be the barrier where where current flows continuously across the barrier without needing an applied voltage due to the quantum tunnelling of Cooper pairs of electrons.

The biggest problem is getting the logic gate to translate the current flowing across its surface, rather all around the logic, the open and close the logic gate based an the amount of current needed to open or close the gate.

But how do we direct pairs of Copper electrons that have been quantumly tunnelled to the correct logic gate every time?

Based on the article above, the flow of current to a logic gate appears to based only on the X,Y axis. But by using Quantum Levitation to suspend logic gates above each and in between spaces, current flow could be increased to all three axis, X,Y and Z, which would increase the computing power of CPU immensely.

Using bleed off current to power logic gates that require lower electrical power would also greatly enhance the CPU. But how do you make a logic gate regulate bleed off current to direct that current to other logic gates to open or close the lower power logic gate?
 
In a Josephson junction, the nonsuperconducting barrier separating the two superconductors must be very thin. [...] Until a critical current is reached, a supercurrent can flow across the barrier; electron pairs can tunnel across the barrier without any resistance. But when the critical current is exceeded, another voltage will develop across the junction. That voltage will depend on time--that is, it is an AC voltage. This in turn causes a lowering of the junction's critical current, causing even more normal current to flow--and a larger AC voltage.

The frequency of this AC voltage is nearly 500 gigahertz (GHz) per millivolt across the junction. So, as long as the current through the junction is less than the critical current, the voltage is zero. As soon as the current exceeds the critical current, the voltage is not zero but oscillates in time. Detecting and measuring the change from one state to the other is at the heart of the many applications for Josephson junctions [such as logic circuits].

Logic gates on quantum computers don't operate in the same way as on traditional logic chips. Quantum logic gates must be reversible. That is, the input states must be determinable from the output states. Quantum logic gate - Wikipedia

Logic circuits include such devices as multiplexers, registers, arithmetic logic units (ALUs), and computer memory, all the way up through complete microprocessors, which may contain more than 100 million gates. In modern practice, most gates are made from MOSFETs (metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors).

If logic gates can be layered using Quantum Locking, then theoretically, two more layers could be stacked with each layer creating new processes for possible total of 650 mil logic gates.


650 million gates might be to many, but when using logic gates that are layered, sub system logic gates could be inserted in between the main operating system logic gates and even possibly tertiary logic gates.

What would be really cool is logic gates were placed on a sheet and then curled into a tube shape and then inserted in flat sheet of logic gates.
