During Lynn's brief talk about Electronic Warfare in Episode 5(a sidenote: I still can't stop laughing at the "Erectonic Warfare" screen. Sounds like a bad porno), she had mentioned quantum codes. Now, I don't know if she meant cryptography based on quantum physics or if she meant something like "programming using the oddities of subatomic particles to transmit data".
Looking at wikipedia,
Quantum Computer,has this defination:

A quantum computer is a device for computation that makes direct use of quantum mechanical phenomena, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. Quantum computers are different from digital computers based on transistors. Whereas digital computers require data to be encoded into binary digits (bits), quantum computation utilize quantum properties to represent data and perform operations on these data

A quantum computer could use the "up" or "down" positions of particles instead of bits(paraphrasing from wikipedia) and due to the nature of subatomic particles, it could use these particles being in both states simultaneously. From what else I can gather, very complex computations using a quantum computer could be done faster than a traditional computer could do them. Unfortunately, I don't have a background in physics so understanding some of the jargon of the wikipedia article would take me some time but I did want to put my observation out there for some of those who know physics more than I do to discuss the implications of quantum computers in the Mouretsuverse.

I'm Meister Babylon, and this is my favorite idea in the entire thread.

Thanks. And I will remember to leave a review on your FF.net story.

Getter Robo? I haven't seen that mecha series, but I have heard a lot about the Go Nagai shows of the 70s and 80s.
