David, perhaps my fault for using the term 'quantum computer' when asking Paul what sort of computer could mimic telepathy.
The quote is from theoretical nuclear physicist Amit Goswami's book 'The self aware universe' .... the quote doesn't actually mention a quantum computer ....
'.... A classical computer, notes Feynman, can never simulate nonlocality ....' one wonders why Feynman used the term 'classical' at all (if he did in the original source). The passage gives a reference to 'Feynman 1982' in the end notes.
