Quantum Mechanics and the Stock Market and more….

 ( http://tinyurl.com/2vowroy)

There has been a flurry of posts relating to quantum mechanics that in light of the stock market plunge in May of 2010 (How one automated trade led to stock market flash crash http://business.newsplurk.com/2010/10/how-one-automated-trade-led-to-stock.html ) give pause to examine closer.

Thomas McCabe in a recent post with the Kurzweil blog (When The Speed Of Light Is Too Slow: Trading at the Edge http://pulsene.ws/jnFI ) talks about the problem with latency issues in today’s high speed trades and the desire to maximize profits that is driving the search for ways to enable even faster trades. Over the last few years traders have been building automated high-frequency trading (HFT) systems that compete by making thousands of trades a minute to maximize profit. However, high density areas slow down the computer’s ability to send and receive information. One option talked about in this article is placing computers further away from populated areas, and more in the middle of the path between major trade markets. That would put a computer in the middle of the Atlantic to optimize the London to NY market path.

Another published report describes how quantum computers are closer to being a reality (Quantum computers a step closer to reality thanks to new finding http://pulsene.ws/iUxC ) with great implications for encryption as well as the ability to handle quickly the large and complex innundation of information today.

And finally, the article/interview with Seth Lloyd of MIT published in CBC News that addresses the newly discovered quantum mechanics principles at play with animals and plants. (Quantum 'weirdness' used by plants, animals http://ow.ly/39ccO ) Imagine tapping into the entanglement phenomenon to understand what is happening in a distant place to trigger a response on your part, or the ability to navigate a complex morass of information and clearly see the path that will get you to where you need to be…

Amazing! The implications of this go well beyond the stock market, and may foretell a host of future problems, too….
