TL;DR
This paper discusses Feynman's 1985 quantum mechanical computer model, emphasizing its built-in clocking mechanism that manages the sequence of computational operations, a feature that has been underutilized in practice.
Contribution
It revisits Feynman's quantum computer model, highlighting its clocking mechanism and potential for practical implementation in quantum computing.
Findings
The model includes a built-in clocking system for ordered operations.
The quantum computer model is theoretically sound but seldom used in practice.
Potential applications of the model are discussed.
Abstract
In this work we present the quantum mechanical computer proposed by Feynman in 1985 and, since then, widely cited but seldom used. The main feature of the model is the presence of a built in clocking mechanism managing for the ordered application of the computational primitives to the input/output register.
