I'm wondering what POV-Ray could do on a 5-Qbit quantum computer...

I watched a panel discussion with Brian Greene (because apparently it's
unavoidable), and IIRC, a quantum computer with 300 Qbits would be able to have
more states than there are particles in the universe.

Apply that to the assertion that there is evidence that there is computer-code
in the fabric of reality, and we may just all be a simulation.

It all creates a situation where thinking about it all - the possibilities and
the implications - quite mind-bending.

POV-Ray 5.0 - Quantum Raytracing the universe...   :O

Unfortunately, the current quantum computers support neither
double-precision floating point numbers nor recursion, so at this point
a POV-Ray port is not an option ;)

So Quantum Fractint is an option as you won't need the recursion with 
Quantum?
