Quantuum-processors would reduce the rendering-time tremendously. Not only
would they be fast, but they calculate implicit equations instantly, just
like optimal angles between atoms in molecules are found instantly with
quantuum-porcesses. Ray-object intersections could be calculated instatly
for _any_ surface. Now _that_ would be something.

I've heard that they now have constructed a simple quantuum-ciruit that does
some simple calculations. Int the future ... blabla.

Simen.
